We report on a 6-year-old boy with an area of opacity in the right lung that persisted after a feverish respiratory tract infection. Aortography confirmed the suspected diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration. ⋯ The venous drainage occurred via the right upper lobe vein, and, most unusually, also to the right pulmonary artery. The clinical findings, diagnostic possibilities and differential diagnostic considerations are discussed.
