We present an unusual case of a young woman with a several-month history of bronchopulmonary infection, symptomatic on the left side, who underwent complete studies showing bilateral pulmonary sequestration with suspected bridging tunnel. A bilateral resection was performed as a single procedure through a left thoracotomy.
