【 摘 要 】

A rare congenital malformation of the respiratory tract, bronchopulmonary sequestration generally presents in childhood and adolescence with recurrent pneumonia or in adulthood as an incidental finding on thoracic imaging . Manifesting as intrapulmonary or extrapulmonary types, bronchopulmonary sequestration characteristically receives blood supply from the systemic rather than pulmonary circulation . We present a 45-year-old male patient who received a provisional diagnosis of bronchopulmonary sequestration following an incidental finding on routine imaging. This case describes the way in which a provisional diagnosis may be made based upon imaging as well as underscoring the importance of alleviating the burden of additional imaging studies.
