The abnormality on the CT and the CxR looks more like a hollow viscus (e.g. small bowel) in the thorax. The extra vessel seems to originate from the aorta almost below the diaphragm. It seems like a congenital hernia or a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (which will be more "hollow" than bronchopulmonary sequestration) rather than a lung sequestration...
See follow-up above. Yeah this reconstruciton is cool because you can see the arterial supply AND the venous drainage back to the atrium.
