[Intralobal pulmonary sequestration and tuberculosis superinfection].
Among 16 pulmonary sequestrations observed in 23 years, 3 were associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. A detailed report is given on a 37-year-old man who was found by serendipity to have a right lower sequestration after 6 years treatment for tuberculosis; middle and upper lobe function had already been lost. Two and half years after pneumonectomy, the patient is in good health. Discussion centers on the diagnosis and potential complications of pulmonary sequestrations.
