Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB; Olympus America Inc., Center Valley, PA, USA) was used to aid placement of a 7F Uniblocker (Fuji Systems Corp., Fukushima, Japan) inside the left mainstem bronchus (LMB) and revealed an odd configuration of central airways [Figure 1A]. Only after a radiologist performed a minimum intensity projection of coronal reconstruction, were we able to identify the TB that was missed in the preoperative reporting [Figure 1B].
