Abstract:
Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is generally located in the left thoracic cavity and is often identified prenatally or in infants. We identified a rare case of multiple extralobar pulmonary sequestrations in the thoracic and abdominal cavities, incidentally detected in a 60-year-old woman by cancer screening. The patient underwent surgery by thoracoscopic and laparoscopic approaches simultaneously, and extralobar sequestration was histologically confirmed in each lesion. Preoperative diagnosis was difficult because of unusual multiple localization and an undetectable aberrant artery on imaging examinations.
