AbstractBronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare developmental abnormality. Most cases are asymptomatic and found incidentally. The definitive treatment for bronchopulmonary sequestration is surgical excision. An 18-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with longstanding cough, fever, and dense sputum. Chest computed tomography identified cystic bronchiectasis in common areas of the left lower lobe, and parenchymal destruction with air-fluid levels. A left lower lobectomy was performed via a video-thoracoscopic approach. © The Author(s) 2015.
