Background Extralobar sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of lung tissue, which can be combined with other foregut and cardiac abnormalities. Our case is the first to report extralobar sequestration, absence of pericardium and atrial septal defect in the same patient. Case presentation A 22-year-old female with atrial septal defect came for her recent atypical symptom of intermittent palpitation and shortness of breath. Her computed tomography showed a cystic mass located in left superior anterior mediastinum near the pulmonary trunk. With specious of cystic teratoma prior to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, she finally was diagnosed as extralobar sequestration, while incidentally found with congenital absence of pericardium during surgery. Conclusions Extralobar sequestration, absence of pericardium and atrial septal defect can occur in the same patient. The preoperative diagnostic rate of extralobar sequestration and asymptomatic absence of pericardium remains low attributed to atypical imaging features. A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is highly recommended if necessary. Regular follow-up is essential to asymptomatic absence of pericardium and atrial septal defect patients. To patients with extralobar sequestration, an operation could be performed.

“…To our knowledge, this is the first report of a child with double ELS with anomalous arterial supply in the left thoracic cavity. Before this reported patient, the cases of rare PS mainly included the following types: variation of the source of arterial supply (7,8), variation of venous drainage (9), variation of anatomical position (10), bilateral PS (11), and PS connecting with the digestive tract (12). A significant number of these patients were incidentally confirmed to have mutations during surgery.…”

“…ELS covered by its own pleura usually derives its blood supply from one or more abnormal independent arteries from the thoracic or abdominal aorta (4). ELS is usually located in the left thoracic cavity and between the lower lobe of the lung and the diaphragm (10). With the development of ultrasound equipment and technological experience, most fetal PS can be identified during pregnancy, and the location of lung lesions can also be roughly identified (14).…”

“…There are several published case reports of bilateral (3,4) and single PS with other ipsilateral thoracic malformations (5,6) worldwide. However, Lv et al 10.3389/fped.2022.926942 ipsilateral intrathoracic double or multiple extralobar sequestrations (ELS) have never been reported. Here, we report a unique case of a 5-month-old child with intrathoracic double ELS incidentally found in the left thoracic cavity during thoracoscopic surgery.…”

To the best of our knowledge, double or multiple extralobar pulmonary sequestrations (PSs) with anomalous arterial supply in the ipsilateral thoracic cavity have rarely been reported before. PS can be divided into two types: intralobar sequestration (ILS) and extralobar sequestration (ELS). We encountered a 5-month-old infant with double ELS in the left thoracic cavity that was incidentally detected during thoracoscopic surgery. Surgical exploration revealed two separate, well-circumscribed abnormal masses in the left thoracic cavity, and the patient was successfully treated using thoracoscopic surgery. Postoperative pathology confirmed that both masses were PS tissues. Accurate preoperative diagnosis using CT alone may be inadequate in this type of case. Therefore, thoracoscopy may be more suitable for diagnosing and treating unusual ELS.
