In addition, it is observed that the patient has 2 lung lobes in the right hemithorax and related 2 main bronchi branching from the trachea on both sides. In addition, the patient's hepatic veins open directly into the right atrium and multiple spleens compatible with polysplenia are observed in the patient. Annular pancreas is noticed in the abdominal sections of the patient. In addition, it is observed that the right atrial appendage has the morphology of the left atrial appendage (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>).

These lesions are often asymptomatic and often observed in the lower thoracic cavity. They rarely involve the apical pleura. In our case, apical pleural involvement is observed. It is difficult to make a differential diagnosis of these lesions with imaging findings. Left isomerism is a subtype of heterotaxy and is also known as polysplenia syndrome. In this syndrome, continuation of multiple spleen, azygos or hemiazygos veins with inferior vena cava, bilateral hypoarterial bronchus, bilateral bilobular lung, bilateral pulmonary/left atrium and intestinal malrotation are observed.
