Isolated left thoracic isomerism.
TLDR
Left thoracic isomerism may present as an isolated anomaly without symptoms, but the chest radiograph demonstrates characteristic right hilar findings that may be misinterpreted as a hilar mass.Abstract:
Left thoracic isomerism may present as an isolated anomaly without symptoms. The chest radiograph demonstrates characteristic right hilar findings that may be misinterpreted as a hilar mass. Computed tomography of the chest is recommended to confirm the correct diagnosis.read more

TL;DR: To assess the accuracy of fetal echocardiography in the prenatal diagnosis of cardiosplenic syndromes and the spectrum of associated anomalies, a large number of cases are diagnosed with at least some of the associated anomalies.

TL;DR: Multidetector CT has broadened the potential of imaging to demonstrate anomalies of the lung and the tracheobronchial tree with increasing frequency, and two- and three-dimensional reformatting improve the understanding of complex tracheo-oral anomalies.

Thoracic situs as an indicator of atrial appendage morphology: a postmortem study of 306 specimens with situs solitus in 250 and heterotaxy in 56 cases.
TL;DR: The relations of the bronchi to the pulmonary arteries were the best predictors of symmetrical atrial appendages or splenic syndromes.

Left hilar mass with obstruction of the main bronchus due to localized pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta
TL;DR: The authors discuss their experience with a potentially hazardous hilar mass found in a 61-year-old man with a 40 pack-year smoking history, which was identified as an aortic pseudoaneurysm that caused near-total obstruction of the left main bronchus.

Isolated Left Thoracic Isomerism with Lung Cancer: Report of a Case
TL;DR: It is important to clarify the anatomy of patients with thoracic isomerism before surgical manipulation, and to perform segmental resection of right S1+2 and S3 for lung cancer and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
