Giant intralobar sequestration.
A case of intralobar sequestration is reported in a 20-year-old male who had recurrent localized infections since age 5. The prolonged course without diagnosis, the very large size of the lesion, and the demonstration of an anomalous artery from the abdomen on the plain chest film represented unusual features. Classification, clinical presentation, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are emphasized.
