Abstract
Intralobar sequestration is a rare abnormality usually diagnosed at later age after a history of recurrent pulmonary infections. We present a case of a 55-year-old man in whom both hemoptysis and massive hemothorax were the initial presenting symptoms. This report shows that intralobar sequestration can have a dramatic course of disease, and for this reason resection of the sequestered tissue should be considered in all patients.
