Background: Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the
lower respiratory tract; it consists of a nonfunctioning mass of lung tissue that is irrigated by an
anomalous systemic artery. The association with Actinomyces superinfection has not been well
established. Methods: We present the case of a 35-year-old woman with a history of recurrent episodes
of pneumonia. Based on radiological and histopathological examination, she was diagnosed with
intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration associated with Actinomyces infection. Promoting clinical
suspicion is essential to diagnose pulmonary actinomycosis in patients with recurrent pneumonia,
to improve early recognition and timely management.
