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.
