During dissection practice for medical students at Nagasaki University, a horizontal fissure and hypoplastic middle lobe were encountered in the right lung of an 81-year-old Japanese female. In a normal right lung, the horizontal fissure is situated anterior to the oblique fissure. On the contrary, in the present case, the horizontal fissure was situated posterior to the oblique fissure. We identified a small, additional lobe on the medial surface of this lung. It was situated in the medial part of the oblique fissure, and was determined to be a small hypoplastic middle lobe. As a result of the hypoplasia of the middle lobe, the original horizontal fissure may have disappeared from the anterior surface. The horizontal fissure, in this case, may be a... |

The proposed aim of the study was to elucidate the variations of the lung fissures and to correlate their importance in clinics. The study was conducted on 48 lung specimens, 30 right and 18 left, obtained from the cadavers of South Indian origin. Among the right-sided lungs, 2 specimens showed absence of horizontal fissure, and the remaining 25 showed incomplete horizontal fissure. Oblique fissure was incomplete in 15 lungs and one lung showed absence of oblique fissure. An accessory fissure was observed in 4 lungs. Among the left sided lungs, the oblique fissure was incomplete in 7 lungs. The presence of an accessory fissure was found in 5 lungs. With the development of radiological and endoscopic techniques and the advancement of pulmonary surgery, the... |
