[Bilateral sleeve upper lobectomy for metachronous squamous cell carcinoma of the lung; report of a case].
A 67-year-old man admitted to our hospital complaining cough. Bronchoscopic findings showed tumor at inlet of the left upper bronchus. Left upper sleeve lobectomy was performed. Six years 6 months later, he admitted to our hospital. Bronchoscopic findings showed tumor at inlet of the right upper bronchus. Right upper sleeve lobectomy was performed. He received radiation therapy, and discharged from the hospital 2 months after the operation. It is quite a rare case that the tumor lesions, to which bronchoplasty need to be applied, develop at 2 separate locations. This case proves that sleeve lobectomy can be applied to 2 separate locations successfully.
