Abstract
A 42-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of a dyspnea. Chest X-ray showed left atelectasis. A mass was detected in left main bronchus by computed tomography and bronchoscopy. The mass was diagnosed as a endobronchial leiomyoma by biopsy exam. After open thoracotomy and bronchotomy, mass removal was done and middle lobe was ventilated normally. Aberrant arterial supply from descending aorta to left lower lobe of the lung was detected and left lower lobectomy was done. The lower lobe of the left lung was pathologically diagnosed as intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Herein we report a rare coexistent case of endobronchial leiomyoma and intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
