Abstract
A 60-year-old female entered the emergency unit with a chief complaint of hemoptysis. Based on the computer tomographic image analysis of the chest, the patient was diagnosed as having an intralobar pulmonary sequestration that accompanied a hemothorax, and the hemothorax was do to the rupture of a pseudocyst. Pulmonary lobectomy of the left lower lobe and primary closure of an aberrant artery were both performed as an emergency operation. After one week following the operation, the patient was discharged without any postoperative complications.
