Abstract
We encountered a 69-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma and pulmonary sequestration. The cancer lesion was located in the left upper lobe, with sequestration of the left lower lobe. Left upper lobectomy was performed after induction chemoradiotherapy, but the sequestered lung lobe was preserved because the preoperative respiratory function was poor. Preservation of the sequestered lung during surgery for lung cancer should be considered in patients who have poor respiratory function and no signs of respiratory infection.
