Malek Tabbara, Fayez Abou Jaoude

Abstract


Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality. It is characterized by a mass of non-functioning, embryonic, cystic pulmonary tissue that receives its blood supply from the systemic circulation. The presentation is variable, ranging from no symptoms to hemoptysis. Herein, we present a case of an asymptomatic pulmonary sequestration incidentally diagnosed intra-operatively in a 37 year-old male with diffuse bullous lung disease.
