Abstract:
Authors present a case of a 60-year-old male patient with left upper lobe cancer in association with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) in the same lobe. The hemiazygous vein joined the left superior pulmonary vein above the aorta in the thorax cavity draining into the left brachiocephalic vein causing left to right shunt flow. PAPVC was clearly identified intraoperatively and left upper lobectomy was performed as definitive solution for both. PAPVC was closed by stapler. To our knowledge 32 operated cases of lung cancer with PAPVC has been described in the literature (PubMed), including our patient.
