Background: The patterns of bronchopulmonary vascular bifurcation within the lung exhibit considerable diversity. To perform safe and accurate anatomical pulmonary resections, an understanding of the anatomy of the pulmonary vessels and bronchi, including variations, is of utmost importance to general thoracic surgeons.
Case Description: We performed a 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction of the pulmonary vessels and bronchi for a 66-year-old female patient.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers analyzed data from a large group of patients who had different resection types and categorized them based on lymph node examination to assess overall survival rates.
- The findings suggest that wedge resection provides similar survival rates to anatomical resection for early-stage carcinoids, and that examining lymph nodes significantly enhances survival outcomes.

Theoretically, marijuana use can cause spontaneous pneumomediastinum indirectly by inducing rigorous vomiting.

Background: Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is located outside the lung parenchyma and is covered by a separated pleural sac, which comprises approximately 25% of all pulmonary sequestration.
Case Presentation: This article reported one case of an extralobar pulmonary sequestration originated from the mesoesophagus, which was recognized and excised during a lung resection. Histologic examination revealed an ectopic lung tissue with hyperplasia of bronchioles, which was accord with an extralobar pulmonary sequestration.
