Torsion of the accessory lung lobe is extremely rare and has been reported only in one human. Accessory lung lobe torsion (LLT) and chylothorax occurred in a 3.5-year-old, male Afghan hound. An exploratory thoracotomy was used to remove the torsed lung lobe. When medical management of the chylous effusion failed, thoracic duct ligation was performed, resulting in resolution of the effusion. The dog remains clinically healthy 29 months postoperatively.
副肺叶扭转极为罕见，仅在1例人类患者中有报道。1只3.5岁的雄性阿富汗猎犬发生了副肺叶扭转（LLT）并伴有乳糜胸。通过开胸探查术切除扭转的肺叶。当乳糜性胸腔积液的内科治疗失败后，进行了胸导管结扎，积液得以消退。术后29个月，这只狗临床状况保持健康。
