Intralobar sequestration.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare anomaly of the lung which is characterized by the presence of a mass of lung tissue which has no connection with the normal bronchopulmonary tree. Sequestration is of two types - intralobar and extralobar, of which intralobar is the more common one. Patients typically present with recurrent hemoptysis, which at times can be massive or with recurrent respiratory tract infections. This case is being presented to highlight the radiological as well as the intraoperative appearance of this rare anomaly.
