Abstract:
A rare congenital malformation of the respiratory tract, bronchopulmonary sequestration generally presents in childhood and adolescence with recurrent pneumonia or in adulthood as an incidental finding on thoracic imaging. Manifesting as intrapulmonary or extrapulmonary types, bronchopulmonary sequestration characteristically receives blood supply from the systemic rather than pulmonary circulation. We present a 45-year-old male patient who received a provisional diagnosis of bronchopulmonary sequestration following an incidental finding on routine imaging. This case describes the way in which a provisional diagnosis may be made based upon imaging as well as underscoring the importance of alleviating the burden of additional imaging studies.
Keywords:Bronchopulmonary   Sequestration   Congenital lung anomaly   Intralobar   Computed tomography   Adult
