Abstract: | A 62-year-old man with hemoptysis and an abnormal shadow on chest roentgenogram was diagnosed as having anomalous systemic
arterial supply to the normal basal segment of the left lower lobe. The preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 19–9 and carcinoembryonic
antigen levels were 73.8 units/ml and 10.8 ng/ml, respectively. Histopathological examination confirmed that the lesion was
an intralobar pulmonary sequestration without air connection. There was no malignant finding in the resected specimen. The
serum values of tumor markers returned to their approximate normal ranges after lower lobectomy. |
