Abstract

The patient was an 80-year-old man who underwent the resection for right lung cancer 7 years after a thoracotomy for right pneumothorax. The patient started to complain of dyspnea on the 4^th day after the resection. Findings of interstitial infiltration appeared on CXP and chest CT scan. Steroid pulse therapy was initiated on the 14^th postoperative day. Although the patient's dyspnea was relieved, contralateral pneumothorax developed on the 33^rd postoperative day. A thoracic drain was immediately inserted, and then air leakage ceased on the 53^rd postoperative day. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 90^th postoperative day. As of about one year after the resection for lung cancer, the patient has been doing well without relapse of pneumothorax and lung cancer, while he has been receiving oxygen therapy at home.
