Four cases of lobar sequestration are described, which have been managed in this hospital during the period from February, 1962 to April, 1969. All of them occurred among the local Malaysian population. Only one of these four showed anatomical features that were consistent with descriptions of this condition in the available literature. The other three manifested anatomical variations not consistent with descriptions of lobar sequestration of either the intralobar or the extralobar type, and it is because of this divergence that the following small series is published.
