ABSTRACT
The right lung classically has two fissures, an oblique and a horizontal, dividing it into three lobes namely the superior, middle and lower. The anomaly of the lobar pattern has been described by many research workers on CT scans, where as, there are fewer studies on gross anatomical specimens. In the present case , which was incidentally detected, we report three fissures dividing the right lung into four lobes. Such abnormal fissures and lobes are clinically important for identifying broncho-pulmonary segments. Anatomical knowledge of anomalies of fissures and lobes of lungs may be important for surgeons performing lobectomies, radiologists interpreting X ray and CT scans and also of academic interest to all medical personnel.
RESUMEN
El pulmón derecho clásicamente tiene dos fisuras, una oblicua y una horizontal, dividiéndolo en tres lóbulos superior, medio e inferior. Anomalías del patrón lobar han sido descritas en algunas investigaciones con scaner, pero son poco estudiadas en anatomía macroscópica. En el presente caso, el cual fue accidentalmente detectado, describimos tres fisuras dividiendo el pulmón derecho en cuatro lóbulos. Tanto las fisuras como los lóbulos son clínicamente importantes para identificar segmentos broncopulmonares. El conocimiento de las variaciones de las fisuras y de los lóbulos del pulmón son importantes para los cirujanos, imagenólogos y anatomistas.
