Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. The occurrence of lung cancer in association with UAPA is even rarer, and clinical experience is very limited. This report aims to describe a case of unilateral absence of the right pulmonary artery that was associated with primary carcinoma of the contralateral lung. Both ipsilateral and contralateral lung cancer operations in patients with UAPA are extremely rare, with limited clinical experience. This article provides insights into the operative tolerability and outcomes after lung surgery in patients with UAPA, with an analysis of the operation strategy based on digital preoperative planning and surgical simulation with three-dimensional (3D) visualization, which may enable lung cancer surgery to be performed safely.
肺动脉缺如（UAPA）是一种罕见的先天性异常。UAPA 合并肺癌的发生更为罕见，临床经验非常有限。本报告旨在描述一例右肺动脉缺如合并对侧肺癌的病例。UAPA 患者同时行同侧和对侧肺癌手术极为罕见，临床经验有限。本文通过对基于数字术前规划和三维（3D）可视化手术模拟的手术策略进行分析，探讨 UAPA 患者肺手术后的手术耐受性和结果，为安全实施肺癌手术提供参考。
