Unilateral single left pulmonary vein is a congenital anomaly of the pulmonary venous system. Surgical treatment is not commonly required for this anatomical variant except in rare circumstances. No previous cases of lung cancer involving the intrapericardial portion of a single left pulmonary vein have been published in the peer-reviewed literature. We describe the case of a 69-year-old man with lung cancer invading single left pulmonary vein, which required intrapericardial pneumonectomy and partial resection of the left atrium.

Abstract
Unilateral single left pulmonary vein is a congenital anomaly of the pulmonary venous system. Surgical treatment is not commonly required for this anatomical variant except in rare circumstances. No previous cases of lung cancer involving the intrapericardial portion of a single left pulmonary vein have been published in the peer-reviewed literature. We describe the case of a 69-year-old man with lung cancer invading single left pulmonary vein, which required intrapericardial pneumonectomy and partial resection of the left atrium.File in questo prodotto:
