[Pulmonary sequestration associated with fungal infections; report of a case].
A 45-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of cough and purulent sputum. Enhanced chest computer tomography(CT) showed that abnormal mass shadow in left lower lobe of the lung and an aberrant artery originated from the discending aorta and penetrated the lesion. Left lower lobectomy was performed and intralobar sequestration was diagnosed. Moreover, fungus which were suspected Aspergillus were found in the cystic lesion. The postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged.
