Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a pulmonary nodule of 2.7 cm in diameter in the right lower lobe (Fig. 1).
Contrast-enhanced three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) showed that the superior right PV abnormally ran between the right main pulmonary artery (PA) and the right main bronchus, and the right upper bronchi (B1+3 and B2) branched separately from the right main bronchus.

Contrast-enhanced three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) showed that the superior right PV abnormally ran between the right main pulmonary artery (PA) and the right main bronchus, and the right upper bronchi (B1+3 and B2) branched separately from the right main bronchus (Fig. 2).
The operative findings also showed that the superior right PV abnormally ran between the right main PA and the right main bronchus.

The operative findings also showed that the superior right PV abnormally ran between the right main PA and the right main bronchus (Fig. 3).
The pathological findings showed papillary adenocarcinoma with areas of a lepidic, acinar or micropapillary growth involving the bronchial wall and a hilar lymph node with pleural invasion and lymphatic and vascular permeation.
