“…4) In the English and Japanese literature, there are 17 reported cases of PAPVC associated with lung cancer. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Including our case and these previous reports, preoperative diagnosis of PAPVC was obtained in nine (50%) cases. The other nine cases were not diagnosed as PAPVC before pulmonary resection.…”

“…Nevertheless, if PAPVC and the tumor are located in different lobes, correction of the PAPVC based on the extent of pulmonary resection and the Qp/Qs ratio. The correction of PAPVC will prevent increase in the shunt fraction through the PAPVC with the decrease of the overall normal vasculature after lobectomy (1,4,9,10). In this case, lung cancer was located in the right upper lobe unilaterally with the PAPVC.…”

A partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital defect in which at least one pulmonary vein doesn't drain into the left atrium but into a systemic vein or even into the right atrium, causing a left-to right shunt. PAPVC with a small amount of shunt are usually asymptomatic, and can not be detected during lifetime. Nevertheless, if those patients undergo a major lung resection, the surgical procedure could precipitate right heart failure if this anomalous shunt remains uncorrected. Therefore, it is considered to be very important preoperative diagnosis. In case report, we present a case of a 54-year-old woman with a right upper lobe non-small cell lung cancer and previous history of left lung resection for tuberculosis. During surgery, an anomalous pulmonary vein branch draining into the superior vena cava was incidentally detected. The abnormality was diagnosed as a PAPVC. A right upper open lobectomy was performed. The anomaly was corrected and the surgery was successful without postoperative complications.Surgeons should be aware of this rare anomaly and carefully evaluate preoperative images CT scans of the pulmonary veins.

“…These anomalies are most frequently identified in children, where they are typically right sided and are associated with ASDs in 80-90% of cases (1,2). In the pediatric population, repair is indicated when pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio (Qp/Qs) approaches 1.5 (2,3).…”

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections (PAPVCs) are rare congenital anomalies that are frequently asymptomatic in adults. When PAPVCs are encountered in the patient requiring pulmonary resection, improper management can result in fulminant right-heart failure and death. In this report, we note our management of a 70-year-old male who presented with a right upper lobe ground-glass opacity (GGO) and a PAPVC. We also provide a systematic review of all contemporary reports and provide an algorithm for PAPVC management in the adult patient requiring pulmonary resection.
