(B and B′) Dorsal view of the same lungs showing partial fusion of the right cranial lobe (RCr) to the fused right middle and caudal lobes (RMd/RCd) with an incomplete fissure separating these lobes (yellow arrow). In A′ and B′, the right lung lobes are outlined with a dashed yellow line. The left lung (L) and the right accessory lobe (RAc) are normal. H = heart.
