Azygos lobe and fissure are incidentally noted (normal variant).
Case Discussion
An azygos lobe is created when a laterally displaced azygos vein creates a deep pleural fissure into the apical segment of the right upper lobe during embryological development. It is not a true accessory lobe as it does not have its own bronchus.
