This report describes the antenatal sonographic identification of a hyperechoic intra-abdominal mass in a 30-week fetus. The mass was proved by autopsy to be an extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Although a rare type of congenital malformation, pulmonary sequestration should be included in the differential diagnosis of an echodense intra-abdominal mass seen during antenatal ultrasound examination.
