Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the pulmonary system. This nonfunctioning
cystic or solid mass is asymptomatic unless infected. Patients primarily present with
pulmonary symptoms such as cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, chest pain, and fever due to recurrent
pulmonary infections. We report herein the case of a young woman who presented with recurrent
left upper abdominal pain and was diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography as
intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
