title: Mycetoma within an intralobar sequestration. Evidence supporting acquired origin for this pulmonary anomaly.
abstract: A rare example of an intralobar sequestration (ILS) containing a fungal mycetoma is reported. This finding indicates the presence of a communication between the ILS and the airways, thus supporting the theory that ILSs are acquired lesions, rather than congenital malformations.
