Bilateral intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestration is an extremely rare anomaly. At present, four pathologically proven cases and two possible cases have been reported in the literature insofar as we know. We have found no previous reports in the literature in which simultaneous bilateral intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestration were present. We report a first case presenting as bilateral intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestration, recently performed staged bilateral resection, and emphasize the importance of computed tomography and angiography in diagnosis and operation.

A total of 21 patients with pulmonary sequestration who had undergone surgical treatment were reviewed at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery of catholic university medical college from May 1983 through May 1993. The pulmonary sequestration was intralobar in 19 patients, and extralobar in 2 patients. There were 17 woman and 4 man ranging of age from 17 months to 48 years with a mean age of 21.3 years. Clinical manifestations were varied from no symptom[3 cases to recurrent pneumonia[15 cases , and hemoptysis[3 cases . Preoperative diagnosis was correct in only 6 cases[29% of the 21 patients of pulmonary sequestration . The left lower lobe[11 cases is most often affected in intralobar sequestration. The aberrant artery in intralobar sequestration originated in 13 cases[68% of 19 cases from descending aorta. 15 of the 19 patients of intralobar type underwent lobectomy. The extralobar sequestration[2 cases were simply excised. There was no mortality and no complication.

Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation in which a mass of pulmonary tissue is detached from the normal lung and receives its blood supply from a systemic arterys from the thoracic aorta or the abdominal aorta, or occasionally from an intercostal artery. We have experienced the three cases of the intralobar pulmonary sequestration. In the first case a 5 year old male was admitted of productive cough and abdominal distension, and chest film showed pneumonic infiltration in RLL. Second case was 26 year old male patient complaining Rt. chest discomfort and hemoptysis and chest X-ray revealed infiltration in Rt. LLF. Third case was 26 year old male patient whose complaint was hemoptysis. Chest x-ray showed hazy density in Lt. lower lung field. In the all cases, the aortograms were performed and the confirmed diagnosis was intralobar pulmonary seqeustration.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Two forms of pulmonary sequestration occur; intralobar sequestration is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We presented on case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with A-V fistula. The patient was 8 years old male and chief complaints are mild fever and exertional dyspnea. Aortogram revealed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and its vessel directly communicated pulmonary vein in sequestrated segment. At time of operation, sequestrated lobe measuring 6x5x5cm, well demarcated at the lower lobe was noted. Aberrant, measuring 1.0cm in diameter and 1cm in length and directly connected pulmonary vein. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, only excision of sequestrated lobe was performed and complication is not during postoperative course.

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a specific tumor marker of the biliary, pancreatic and gastrointestinal tracts. CA19-9 is occasionally elevated in serum in patiens with benign pulmonary diseases such as bronchiectasis, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or collagen disease-associated pulmonary fibrosis. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital lung anomaly. It is dissociated from the normal tracheobronchial tree and is supplied by an anomalous systemic artery. There have been some reports of elevation of CA19-9 in this lesion. We report a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with elevated serum CA19-9 in a 29-year-old man who was diagnosed with bronchiectasia of left lower lung field on general check up. He had no evidence of any malignant disease in pancreatobiliary or gastrointestinal tracts. Elevated serum CA19-9 level might be encountered with benign pulmonary disease such as pulmonary sequestration.

We have experienced a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration communicating with the esophagus. A 24 year old female patient was admitted of chronic cough related to food, purrlent sputum and left lower chest pain. Esophagography and bronchography revealed bronchoesophageal fistula and bronchiectasis with cystic lesion of the left lower lobe. There was multiple anomalous feeding vessels arinig from the intercostal arteries and no draining systemic vein on aortography. division of the bronchoesophageal fistula and left lower lobectomy was performed. Communication with the esophagus in rarely associated with intralobar pulmonary sequestration and esophagogram is useful method of diagnosis for this communication.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration Is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration preoperatively confirmed. The patient was 17 year old female whose complaints were mild fever and profuse purulent sputum. Chest film showed a large thin walled cystic lesion with air-fluid level at the left lower posterior basal lung field. Aortogram revealed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and that drained via pulmonary vein into the left atrium. At time of operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 9x8x3 cm in dimension at the left lower lobe was noted. And the aberrant artery, measuring 0.5 cm in diameter and 2 cm in length, arising from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm was noted. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, a left lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is rare congenital lung disease characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply though aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration postoperatively confirmed. The patient was 48-year-old female whose complaints were cough and left chest pain. Chest film showed large homogenous opacity in left lower lung field. By operation, adult fist sized mass at the lower lobe were noted. An aberrant artery, measuring 1.0 cm. in diameter and 2.0 cm. in length, arose from the descending thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm. The anomalous systemic artery was ligatures and resection, and associated with left middle, lower bilobectomy was done. The postoperative course was uneventful, and 10 days later discharged.

A sequestrated Mass of ectopic non functioning pulmonary Tissue artery is an uncommon but clinically recognizable Entity. Pulmonary sequestrated, in general usage, designates an intralobar process intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derive its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. As aberrant systemic vessel supplying the lung was reported by Hurber in 1777. We experienced a case of Intralobar pulmonary sequestration Pre-Operatively, confirm by Aortogram. The operative finding show that large Abscess cavity measuring 7x8 Well circumscribed, child fist sized Mass, and 4cm-length aberrant vessel arising from Descending aorta Just above the Diaphragm. The Anomalous systemic artery was ligatures & resection, and associated with left lower lobectomy was done. Post-Operative course was uneventful, and 7 days later discharged.

The pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue supplied by aberrant artery from the aorta or its branches and usually has no communication with the normal bronchial tree. The patient was 35 year old female and had no specific complaints. The lung mass was found incidentally and was continned to be intralobar pulmonary sequestration by aotography whitch showed aberrant blood supply from thoracic aorta at the T. vertebra level. The right lower lobectomy was done.
