title: An incidental and uncommon pulmonary sequestration with an uncommon feeding artery.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly and most intralobar sequestrations were located in lower lobes. There is little information on middle lobe intralobar sequestration.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 44 year-old man with right middle lobe syndrome was referred for surgical management. He underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic right middle lobectomy and his postoperative course was uneventful. Pathology is notable for an incidental intralobar sequestration.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our case was unique in that the location of incidental pulmonary sequestration is uncommon and in that its feeding artery was uncommonly located in the fissure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We report an extremely rare case of right middle lobe intralobar sequestration with a feeding artery in the fissure.
