case_images: (A) Left lung hyperinflation and reduced right lung volume along with upper lobe haziness or atelectasis, (B) 12 days later, upper lobe haziness has slightly decreased with an overall decrease in infiltrations along the lung, (C) right upper lobe haziness reappears with widespread lung consolidation and indistinct heart borders.

case_images: Chest radiography revealed left lung hyperinflation and reduced right lung volume along with upper lobe haziness (Figure 1A). While in the ward, the chest X-ray was repeated that showed significant radiological resolution, as shown in Figure 1B. Repeated chest radiography showed worsening of the radiological features (Figure 1C).
case_images: (A) Coronal plane images of chest CT scan demonstrating an extra bronchus origin above the carina, (B) Pulmonary 3D images demonstrating extra bronchus arising from the right lateral aspect of the trachea almost at the level of the carina.

case_images: An extra bronchus was revealed to be originating above the carina, along with atelectasis and consolidation of the upper lobe of the right lung, shown in Figure 2A. Similarly, the three-dimensional multiplanar reconstruction of the lungs and bronchi leads to definitive diagnosis of pig bronchus, shown in Figure 2A and B.
