case_images: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration. A 26-year-old woman with recurrent hemoptysis. Contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomography (CT) shows the aberrant artery (arrow) originated from thoracic aorta and introduced to lower left lobe of the lung.

case_images: Contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomography (CT) of the thorax revealed an aberrant vascular structure extending from thoracic aorta to lower left lung and 5 mm in diameter [Figures 1 and 2].
case_images: Computed tomography image of the lung shows small intralobar sequestrated area as bronchiectasis (arrow) in the left lower lobe (LLL).

case_images: Contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomography (CT) of the thorax revealed an aberrant vascular structure extending from thoracic aorta to lower left lung and 5 mm in diameter [Figures 1 and 2].
case_images: Aortography image reveals the aberrant arteries (arrow). The anomalous artery originates from the distal part of the thoracic aorta and supplies the blood circulation of the sequestrated lung tissue.

case_images: Thoracic aortography confirmed the pulmonary sequestration and aberrant arterial vessel from aorta to LLL and venous drainage from sequestrated area to the left atrium [Figure 3].
case_images: Operative view of the patient. Dia: Diaphragm, Ao: Aorta, Ar: Aberrant artery, IPV: Inferior pulmonary vein, LLL: Left lower lobe.

case_images: The left posterolateral thoracotomy was performed and the sequestered tissue was found at the baseline of the LLL of the lung [Figure 4].
case_images: H and E, x40 magnification of the specimen reveals intra-alveolar hemorrhages (IAH), parenchymal hemorrhages (PH), and vascular congestions (arrow). Al: Alveolus.

case_images: Pathological examination of the lung tissue revealed intralobar (ILS) sequestrated lung with focal intra-alveolar hemorrhages (IAH), parenchymal hemorrhages (PH), and vascular congestions [Figure 5].
