Unusual presentation of an intralobar pulmonary sequestration with recurrent haemoptysis, associated with aspergillosis

Abstract

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration presenting with recurrent hemoptysis in association with aspergillosis is uncommon. Demonstration of the aberrant systemic arterial supply by computerized tomography (CT) angiogram is the key in establishing the diagnosis. A patient is reported with intralobar pulmonary sequestration in the left lower lobe and colonization of the sequestrated lung by aspergillosis, who presented with recurrent hemoptysis. The patient was treated successfully by lower lobectomy and leading a normal life 3 years after surgery.
