Abstract：
Extralobar sequestrations are rare congenital malformations of the lung. They are usually located between the diaphragm and left lower lobe and receive their blood supply from the aorta. We report a case of extralobar sequestration in an atypical location with a pulmonary arterial feeding vessel. An 18-year-old woman presented with an abnormality on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography revealed a lung field not communicating with the bronchus between the upper and lower right lung lobes. Three-dimensional reconstruction computed tomography demonstrated a feeding artery from the pulmonary artery draining into the pulmonary vein. We diagnosed her with extralobar sequestration and resected the sequestered lung using video-assisted thoracic surgery. Therefore, three-dimensional reconstruction computed tomography helped identify the abnormal blood vessels, and video-assisted thoracic surgery may be useful in the treatment of extralobar sequestration.
