An adult case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration *

  A case of Pryce Ⅰ type intralobar pulmonary sequestration is reported. A 27-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital, complaining of cough and increasing fever. She has had a lung abscess since she was a junior high school student. A cystic mass shadow was detected in S10 of the left lung on chest CT scan. Aortography showed that the arterial supply into the mass was provided by the descending aorta. Angiography showed that the flow returned to the right atrium via an azygos vein. A left lower lobectomy was performed. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration was diagnosed.(Accepted on October 17,2006)
