Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare malformation. Infection with common pyogenes is a frequent complication in this disease. We report here on a case of intralobar sequestration that was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the absence of any other site of tuberculous infection. A 40-year man presented with a small amount of hemoptysis, and the man had been previously diagnosed with bronchiectasis 3 years ago. Chest computerized tomography revealed bronchiectasis with pneumonia in the left lower lobe and there was a large feeding artery from the thoracic aorta. A lobectomy of the left lower lobe was conducted via thoracotomy and the final pathologic examination confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis limited to the intralobar sequestrated lung. The patient underwent anti-tuberculous chemotherapy from the postoperative $7^{th}$ day and he was discharged without any adverse event.

폐 분리증은 비교적 드문 기형적 폐 질환이다. 이 질환에서 일반적인 화농성균의 폐 감염은 흔한 합병증일 수 있다. 저자들은 내엽성 폐분리증의 폐에 국한된 결핵 균의 감염 1예를 치험하고 보고한다. 내원 3년 전에 기관지 확장증으로 진단받은 40세의 남자 환자가 반복되는 소량의 객혈을 주소로 내원하였다. 흉부 CT 촬영상 좌하엽의 염증을 동반한 기관지 확장증 소견과 흉부 대동맥에서 기시되는 커다란 영양동맥이 발견되었다. 환자는 개흉술을 통한 좌하엽 절제술을 받았고 최종 병리학적 검사상 폐분리증의 폐에 국한된 결핵감염이 확인되었다. 수술 후 7일째부터 환자에게 항 결핵요법을 시작하였고 퇴원 후 외래에서 추적 관찰 중이다.
