[Squamous cell carcinoma caused by dysplasia on the bullous wall].
We experienced a squamous cell lung carcinoma caused by dysplasia around the bullous wall after right upper lobectomy by tuberculosis. A case is 70 years old male who was resected right upper lobe caused by tuberculosis 50 years ago. He was pointed out an abnormal shadow on the chest X-ray in March 2002. There were bullous change in right lung field on the chest computed tomography (CT). There was appeared a tumor contiguous to the bullous wall. A part of bullous wall surrounding the tumor was thickened bronchio-alveolar lavage gave proof of squamous cell carcinoma. Right basal segmentectomy and subcarinal lymph node dissection was done, because of severe adhesion a right middle lobe. Radiation therapy at the mediastinum is performed, because of positive subcarinal lymph nodes. It is rare case of squamous cell carcinoma caused by dysplasia, we reported.
