From the Department of Radiation Oncology (Lora-Michiels), Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710; the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences (Biller, Olsen, Hoskinson), College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas 66506; the Department of Radiological Health Sciences (Kraft), College of Veterinary Medicine, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523; and the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences (Jones), Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Tech, Duck Pond Drive, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061-0442.

Diseases of the accessory lung lobe (AccLL) are often overlooked in dogs and cats, perhaps because of its recessed location. Diseases of this lobe also can mimic diseases of the diaphragm or structures comprising the caudal mediastinum. Normal anatomy of the AccLL and the diagnostic tools used today will be reviewed to help differentiate disease of adjacent organs. Four cases will also be described to illustrate disease presentation and radiographic findings affecting this lobe.
