Intralobar Sequestration of the Lingula Pulmonalis

¹ Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy, Jefferson Medical College

Intralobar sequestration of the lingula pulmonalis was noted in a white woman cadaver of 62 years. As the affected tissue was adherent to the pericardium, it received an extrapulmonary arterial supply from both the pericardiophrenic artery and a systemic vessel derived from the aorta. This case was of particular interest as an apparent intermediate condition between intralobar sequestration and accessory lung and because of the unusual situation of the anomaly.
