Abstract

Two rare cases of anomalous veins are reported. (1) The left hepatic vein opened directly to the right atrium, not to the inferior vena cava, in a 53year-old female undergoing dissection,1977. This anomalous vein is regarded as a remnant of the embryonic Vena revehens hepatis sinistra. (2) Three left pulmonry veins opened separately to the left atrium in an 81-year-old female undergoing dissection,1978. In this case, the left lung was composed of two lobes.
