Accessory cardiac bronchus

Timothy J Barreiro et al. Lung. 2014 Oct.

Abstract

Accessory cardiac bronchus is a poorly recognized, usually asymptomatic, congenital abnormality of the bronchial tree. Recognition of bronchial anomalies is important since they are associated with clinical complications including recurrent episodes of infection, hemoptysis, and in some cases malignancy.
