Intralobar sequestration (ILS) is a rare anomaly that may manifest as recurrent pneumonia or rarely as haemoptysis. The co-existence of ILS with enterogenous cyst is extremely rare with only a single case reported. We describe a 6-month-old male infant, with haemoptysis. Evaluation revealed a consolidated segment of the left lung with a pseudoaneurysm of the pulmonary artery and spina bifida. Thoracoscopic excision of the lesion revealed ILS. Recurrent haemoptysis led to re-evaluation and thoracotomy for excision of the cyst which contained gastric mucosal content. We report a rare case of concomitant ILS with an enterogenous cyst and review the relevant literature.
