Bilateral intralobar pulmonary sequestration within the lower lobes was suggested by computed tomography and confirmed by arteriography in a 27-year-old woman. Although one side was asymptomatic, both sequestrated areas were resected using staged bilateral thoracotomies. Histopathological examination showed massive inflammation in the symptomatic as well as the asymptomatic sequestrum. To our knowlege, this is the sixth reported case of bilateral intralobar pulmonary sequestration and the third for which bilateral resection has been performed.
