Abstract
Summary Two case reports of resectional treatment for tuberculosis of the azygos lobe are presented. The finding of a separate epiarterial bronchus, not previously described, is noted. The clinical, radiologic, and anatomic findings, including bronchopulmonary segmental relationships, are described. The embryologic abnormality accounting for the anomaly is discussed. Segmental or subsegmental resection in order to conserve functioning pulmonary tissue is advocated.
