Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation that predisposes to recurrent respiratory infections. It is difficult to diagnose unless a more extensive directed investigation (to the vasculature and pulmonary parenchyma) is take on. Failure to diagnose and treat this condition can lead to recurrent pneumonia and fatal hemoptysis. Most cases are diagnosed before the age of 20 years. In this report, we present an extremely rare case of elderly woman with initial diagnosis of intralobar sequestration, and to our knowledge, this case represents the oldest diagnosed patient in the literature.
