Two patients presented primarily with abdominal pain and chest pain, while one patient presented with abdominal pain alone. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) was performed in all cases: two patients were suspected of having intrathoracic soft-tissue masses, and one patient was diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration. All patients subsequently underwent thoracoscopic resection of the pulmonary sequestration. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed pulmonary sequestration with hemorrhagic necrosis in all three cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pulmonary sequestration with torsion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with chest\/abdominal pain accompanied by an intrathoracic soft-tissue mass.
