Extralobar pulmonary sequestration was incidentally detected in a 65-year-old man. Preoperatively, the lesion presented as a posterior mediastinal mass. At operation the mass was found to be attached to the paravertebral region at the level of the seventh thoracic vertebra by a feeding artery originating from the descending aorta. Only two cases of extralobar pulmonary sequestration in the posterior mediastinum have been previously reported.
