Abstract:- The left lung classically has one fissures, an oblique, dividing it into two lobes namely these are superior and inferior. The anomaly of the lobar pattern has been described by many research workers on CT scans and X- rays butthere are fewer studies on gross anatomical specimens. In the present case , which was incidentally detected, we report two fissures dividing the left lung into three lobes. Such abnormal fissures and lobes are clinically important for identifying broncho-pulmonary segments. Anatomical knowledge of anomalies of fissures and lobes of lungs may be important for surgeons performing lobectomies, radiologists interpreting X ray and CT scans and also academic interest to all medical personnel.
Key words:- Anomaly; Anatomical variation; Abnormal; Fissure; Lobe; Lung.
