Tracheal bronchus is a rare, congenital abnormality of the tracheobronchial tree. Majority of patients with tracheal bronchus are asymptomatic. Lung malignancy associated with tracheal bronchus is rare. An asymptomatic 40-year-old female was diagnosed with right upper lobe lung carcinoma. CT thorax revealed a right upper lobe tracheal bronchus. The patient underwent right uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy and recovered well. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of primary lung carcinoma with tracheal bronchus treated with right uniportal VATS upper lobectomy in Malaysia, and the second reported case internationally.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
