We present a case of a 6-year-old child in whom a chest x-ray is performed for a respiratory infection. An inverted comma opacity was seen in the right upper lobe, typical of an azygos fissure. This is one of the numerous anatomic variants of the azygos vein.

Keywords : Azygos fissure; azygos lobe.
