The patient presented with symptoms of exertional dyspnea and cough, and imaging tests revealed a lesion in the left lower lobe. The patient underwent surgical resection of the sequestration. The article provides information on the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary sequestration. [Extracted from the article]
