Abstract: | Tracheal bronchus is a rare anomoly wherein a bronchus arises directly from the trachea and supplies the right upper lobe. We had a case of lung cancer arising from a tracheal bronchus with invasion into the trachea. Tracheobronchoplasty was needed for complete resection of the tumor. Because of the anatomical characteristics of the tracheal bronchus, special surgical techniques for resection of the neoplasm were needed. |
