Abstract

Azygos lobe which appears in the inner surface of the right lung apex is a rare venous anomaly of the lung. It is usually asymptomatic and does not require a specific treatment, but it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of lesions in the lungs and should be considered for the presence of cardio-pulmonary pathology that may accompany. In this study, we present a pediatric patient, who was referred to the family medicine outpatient clinic with the complaints of fever and cough and was diagnosed with azygos lobe.

Özet

Azigos lobu, sağ akciğer apeksinin iç yüzeyinde yerleşimli, akciğerin nadir görülen venöz anomalilerinden biridir. Genellikle asemptomatiktir ve özel bir tedavi gerektirmez. Ancak akciğer lezyonlarının ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulmalı ve eşlik edebilen diğer kardiyo-pulmoner patolojilerin varlığı açısından dikkatli olunmalıdır. Bu olgu sunumunda, aile hekimliği polikliniğine ateş ve öksürük şikayetiyle başvuran ve etiyolojiye yönelik yapılan araştırma esnasında azigos lobu tanısı konulan bir çocuk hasta anlatılmıştır.
