“…Trachel bronchus more commonly occurs on the right side (0.1%-3%) than the left (0.3%-1%) [3,8] . Tracheal bronchus can arise anywhere between the carina and the cricoid cartilage, most commonly 2 cm from the carina.…”

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.

“…It may be isolated, but it is more often associated with other congenital cardiac defects such as aortic coarctation, tetralogy of Fallot, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, truncus arteriosus, right aortic arch and pulmonary atresia [1]. UAPA is more common on the right side [1]. UAPA may present in infancy with respiratory distress, pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure [1].…”

“…When severe pulmonary hypertension does not develop in infancy, the condition may remain asymptomatic until adulthood. Adults with isolated UAPA can present with recurrent respiratory infections, exercise intolerance and haemoptysis [1]. Haemoptysis is caused by excessive collateral circulation, may be self-limiting or massive and life-threatening.…”

“…Haemoptysis is caused by excessive collateral circulation, may be self-limiting or massive and life-threatening. A chest radiography, often performed because of recurrent respiratory infections, typically shows an ipsilateral small hemithorax, diminished hilar vasculature, mediastinal shift to the affected side, and elevation of hemidiaphragm [1]. When these findings are present, a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest should be performed, which will depict clearly the absent pulmonary artery, the collateral circulation and possibly an associated congenital defect.…”
