Abstract
An accessory cardiac bronchus (ACB) is a rare congenital anomaly of the trachobronchial tree. It rarely presents with symptoms, and is usually diagnosed incidentally by chest CT, bronchoscopy, or during surgery. We experienced a case of accessory cardiac bronchus found incidentally in the bronchus intermedius with lung cancer in the right lower lobe, and surgically removed.
