[Intralobar pulmonary sequestration treated surgically in a patient with sarcoidosis].
Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon but clinically significant congenital malformation characterised by the presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue that receives its blood supply from anomalous systemic arteries and has no communication with the normal bronchial tree. We describe a patient with an intralobar pulmonary sequestration of the left lower lobe associated with sarcoidosis. The patient was treated successfully by resection of the lesion. The postoperative period was uneventful. We found no report where a pulmonary sequestration was associated with sarcoidosis.
