Variation in the origin of the internal thoracic arteries has been previously described and reported in the literature; however, there has been no report of an anomalous termination of the right internal thoracic artery into the pulmonary vein persisting and presenting in adult life. We report the case of the right internal thoracic artery originating from the first part of subclavian artery but terminating into the right superior pulmonary vein that presented during the third decade of life.
内乳动脉起源的变异先前已有文献报道过；然而，右内乳动脉异常终末支进入肺静脉并持续存在于成人期的病例尚未见报道。我们报告了一例右内乳动脉起自锁骨下动脉第一段但终末支进入右肺上静脉的病例，该病例发生于 30 岁出头。
