title: [Intralobar sequestration in elderly patient; report of a case].
abstract: A 71-year-old woman who had been treated as bronchitis was diagnosed as intralobar sequestration by a computed tomography scan. She had 2 episodes of hemosputum in recent 30 years but the amounts were small and they spontaneously stopped in a day. She had an abnormal vessel from thoracic descending aorta of which diameter was 1 cm draining to the basal segment of the left lung. She was operated on a left lower lobectomy with ligation of the vessel via a thoracotomy. Postoperative course was uneventful, and she discharged home on the 9th postoperative day.
