	'''Pulmonary sequestration''' ('''PS'''), also known as '''lung sequestration''', is a medical condition characterized by a piece of tissue that ultimately develops into a mass in the lung. This mass is not a normal part of the lung tissue and does not function as such. It is typically supplied by an abnormal artery that comes directly from the aorta, rather than the pulmonary artery like the rest of the lung.
