Abstract

The lung azygos lobe is a rare type of anatomical variation of the lung, with a very low incidence. It is mainly caused by the abnormal development of blood vessels during the embryonic period. The formation of the lung azygos lobe generally does not cause clinical symptoms, which is usually found by accident during physical examination or by chest film or CT examination due to other lesions. In this paper, a case of lung azygos lobe with chest pain as its clinical manifestation was analyzed retrospectively, and the formation mechanism, clinical characteristics, imaging manifestations and clinical significance of lung azygos lobe were summarized in order to improve people’s awareness of the lung azygos lobe.
