Simultaneous discovery of bilateral intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestrations

Ann Thorac Surg. 1997 Apr;63(4):1171-3. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(97)00070-2.

Abstract

We describe the rare case of bilateral bronchopulmonary sequestrations, one intralobar and one extralobar, in a 22-year-old man. The coexistence of two forms of separated sequestrations with a common vascularization support the theory that intralobar as well as extralobar sequestrations are congenital malformations.
