A Case of Infected Pulmonary Sequestration in Adulthood
A 36-year-old woman was hospitalized with worsening left chest pain after a computed tomography–guided biopsy of a lung lesion a few days before admission. Four months before admission, she had been undergoing work-up for a lung mass; however, with careful review of previous imaging, she was found i...

| description | A 36-year-old woman was hospitalized with worsening left chest pain after a computed tomography–guided biopsy of a lung lesion a few days before admission. Four months before admission, she had been undergoing work-up for a lung mass; however, with careful review of previous imaging, she was found instead to have an infected intralobar pulmonary sequestration requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy and eventual resection. This case demonstrates an important alternative differential diagnosis to consider when evaluating masslike consolidations found in the lung bases on imaging, as well as the importance of reviewing previous imaging. |
