Aim:
was to study the clinical anatomy of the pulmonary ligaments of young people.

Material and methods:
The study was carried out when performing 28 autopsies of young people aged 25 to 44 years. Methods of dissection of chest organocomplexes, macro-microscopy, morphometry and planimetry, and statistical processing were used. The shape and topography of the pulmonary ligaments was assessed, their area, the localization of lymph nodes was examined.

Results:
The pulmonary ligament is an anatomical formation, which is formed as a result of a combination of leaves of the mediastinal pleura, which, covering the surfaces of the roots of the lungs, descend towards the diaphragm and are located between the mediastinal organs and the lungs. Pulmonary connections on both sides have a few edges: the inner, outer and lower free. The pulmonary ligaments with lower free edges do not pass to the diaphragmatic surface of the pleura, but only with inner ones, which are located on the right along the esophagus, and on the left along the aorta. Pulmonary ligaments on both sides pass into the mediastinal part of the pleura, covering the pericardium.

Conclusions:
There are individual differences between the shape and size of the right and left pulmonary ligaments in males and females. There is no significant difference between the sizes of the right and left pulmonary ligaments, but such dimensions as: the width, the angle of inclination and the ratio of their lower free edge to the lower edge of the lungs are not found in all cases.
