ABSTRACT
Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital anomaly in which nonfunctioning lung tissue develops without communication to the tracheobronchial tree. Extralobar sequestrations (EPS) account for about 25% of all sequestrations and are contained within their own pleural lining. We report a case of a 45-year-old non-smoking male who presented to our clinic with an EPS and concurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a blood supply to the EPS originating from the celiac axis. The patient underwent uncomplicated video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of the EPS and reduction of the diaphragmatic hernia. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and remains asymptomatic.
