Abstract

A 66-year-old man visited our department because of palmar hyperhidrosis. Computed tomography had revealed division of the right upper lobe by a fissure and the azygos vein, and the presence of an azygos lobe had been diagnosed. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (resection of T3 ganglion) was performed. Adhesion between the azygos lobe and parietal pleura was dissected to pulling out the azygos lobe and the sympathectomy was safely performed.
