Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital abnormality of the lower airway, generally characterized by blood supply received from the systemic circulation. We present a rare case of a 19-year-old man with incidentally detected BPS supplied by a branch of a pulmonary artery, rather than a systemic artery. Computed tomography showed a sequestered segment supplied by a branch of the left pulmonary artery and containing an ectopic bronchus. As chest computed tomography revealed necrosis in the sequestered tissue, infection was presumed, and the tissue was surgically removed. This may represent a very unusual occurrence, as such cases have yet to be reported in the literature.
支气管肺隔离症（BPS）是一种罕见的下呼吸道先天性异常，通常其特征是接受体循环供血。我们报告一例罕见病例，一名19岁男性偶然发现的BPS由肺动脉分支供血，而非体动脉供血。计算机断层扫描显示一个由左肺动脉分支供血的隔离节段，其中包含一条异位支气管。由于胸部计算机断层扫描显示隔离组织中有坏死，推测存在感染，遂将该组织手术切除。这可能是一种非常罕见的情况，因为此类病例在文献中尚未见报道。
