    AbstractA partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is an uncommon congenital anomaly. This report documents the case of a 48-year-old man with PAPVC which was incidentally discovered with right lung cancer and absence of right upper lobe. Right pneumonectomy was successfully performed, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Asymptomatic PAPVC without septal defect is extremely rare. If the PAPVC is located in a different lobe, a pulmonary resection for lung cancer would precipitate an adverse outcome without a correction of the PAPVC. Surgeons should therefore be cautious regarding the potential existence of a PAPVC when a patient undergoes surgical procedures.
