Generally, Left Lung is divided into two lobes by a deep oblique fissure and right lung is divided into three lobes by oblique and horizontal fissures.But in our case study during the routine undergraduate dissection of the Thoracic region of a sixty five year old male cadaver in the department of Anatomy, Gandhi Medical College, it was incidentally observed that the left lung is divided into three lobes by oblique and horizontal fissures and incomplete horizontal fissure in the right lung.This type of variation is observed only once in our routine dissection in Anatomy Department and hence presented for its clinical importance.
