Scimitar syndrome – An incidental diagnosis in a case of fibroadenoma
Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly which is characterised by anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the either entire right lung or part of it into the inferior vena cava or portal vein or hepatic vein or right atrium occasionally. This can be associated with hypoplasia of the right lung...

| description | Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly which is characterised by anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the either entire right lung or part of it into the inferior vena cava or portal vein or hepatic vein or right atrium occasionally. This can be associated with hypoplasia of the right lung, dextroposition, underdevelopment of right pulmonary artery and anomalous systemic arterial supply from the descending aorta to the hypoplastic lung. A 36 year old female came with history of swelling in the right breast which turned up to be right breast fibroadenoma. Routine chest radiograph revealed scimitar syndrome which was confirmed on CECT chest. |
