Sleeve lobectomy for lung carcinoma in a patient with muscular dystrophy.
We performed a sleeve lobectomy on a patient with squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung who had poor pulmonary function and could not move his extremities or trunk, due to a muscular dystrophy. Lung cancer in a highly disabled patient can be resected even with a bronchoplastic procedure.
