Displaced bronchus and anomalous pulmonary vein passing dorsal to the pulmonary artery in a patient who underwent right upper lobectomy for lung cancer with lymph node metastases: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tracheobronchial anomalies are extremely rare and are often associated with pulmonary arteriovenous anatomical anomalies. An anomalous right upper vein segment that passes between the pulmonary artery (PA) and bronchus is a rare vascular abnormality. We report a case of a displaced superior posterior branch (B2) that was independent of the superior apical/anterior branch (B1 + 3) accompanied by anomalous right superior pulmonary vein (SPV) anatomy in a patient who underwent right upper lobectomy for lung cancer with lymph node metastases.
