抄録

A 69-year-old male who had undergone right upper lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection for advanced lung cancer developed interstitial pneumonia on the third postoperative day. Pulse steroid therapy was performed immediately. The patient was successfully recovered.<BR>During the eleven years from June 1984 to December 1995, a retrospective review identified 9 patients with postoperative interstitial pneumonia (PIP). They had all undergone operation for advanced lung cancer on the right side, and interstitial shadows appeared in the left lower lung field on the opposite side. Seven of these patients had undergone complete dissection to the right upper mediastinal lymph node. We conclude that detection of an initial vague shadow in the lower lung field on the non-operated side should be the sign for immediate initiation of pulse steroid therapy for treatment of PIP, especially in patients with advanced lung cancer on the right side accompanied by complete lymph node dissection of the mediastinum.
