The thoracic cavity contains vital cardiovascular and pulmonary structures. Few congenital anatomical variations in the bronchial tree and pulmonary vasculature have been reported. Understanding such variants is crucial during surgical procedures that involve the thorax. During routine dissection of an 89-year-old male cadaver as part of a first-year anatomy course, an anomaly of the bronchial tree was discovered. The left lung hilum was notable for the pulmonary artery being posterior to the mainstem bronchus. The case report describes normal lung development and anatomy and the significance of this novel variation in which has not been previously described in the literature.
胸腔包含重要的心血管和肺部结构。关于支气管树和肺血管系统的先天性解剖变异鲜有报道。在涉及胸部的外科手术过程中，了解这些变异至关重要。在作为一年级解剖学课程一部分对一名89岁男性尸体进行常规解剖时，发现了支气管树的异常。左肺门的特点是肺动脉位于主支气管后方。该病例报告描述了正常的肺发育和解剖结构，以及这种文献中此前未描述过的新变异的意义。
