A rare ectopic tracheal bronchus (TB) caused recurrent lung inflammation, atelectasis, and fibrosis. Surgical removal (right lobectomy) led to a successful long-term outcome.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Ectopic tracheal bronchus (TB) is a rare congenital anomaly where the bronchus originates abnormally from the trachea.
  • This condition can lead to recurrent pulmonary infections and complications due to abnormal airway drainage.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old female presented with recurrent inflammation, atelectasis, and fibrotic changes in the right upper lobe.
  • Imaging revealed an ectopic tracheal bronchus as the underlying cause of these pulmonary issues.

Findings:

  • Bronchography confirmed the presence and extent of the ectopic tracheal bronchus.
  • The patient underwent a superior right lobectomy to address the anomaly and its consequences.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention for symptomatic ectopic tracheal bronchus can achieve favorable long-term outcomes.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare congenital airway anomalies in the differential diagnosis of recurrent pulmonary pathology.
