Successful intentional lobectomy for lung cancer after treating contralateral diaphragmatic eventration.

چکیده
Diaphragmatic eventration permanently raises all or part of the hemidiaphragm, thus impairing respiratory function by compressing the ipsilateral lung and mediastinum. A 55-year-old woman had cT1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma in the right lower lobe and diaphragmatic eventration in the left hemithorax. We repaired the eventration to recover respiratory function, then performed a radical lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection. Pathologically, the tumor was a well-differentiated acinar adenocarcinoma (pT1N0M0 stage IA). She was free from cancer and eventration 18 months later. This is the first known report of a lung cancer patient with impaired respiratory function who underwent an intentional radical lobectomy following repair of contralateral diaphragmatic eventration to recover respiratory function.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia and situs inversus totalis.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a relatively rare disorder (1:3000 newborns) that frequently presents with respiratory distress in the immediate neonatal period due to severe pulmonary hypertension and lung hypoplasia. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used as a last resort when artificial ventilation and/or modulation of the pulmonary vascular tone fail to improve the clinic...

متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of a Giant Emphysematous Bulla with an Endobronchial Valve in a Patient with Contralateral Lung Cancer
Patients with severe emphysema have a higher risk of developing lung cancer, and their surgical risk increases when emphysema is accompanied by a giant bulla. Here, we describe a patient who had an emphysematous giant bulla in the right upper lobe that was treated with an endobronchial valve placement. Subsequently, a cancerous lesion on the contralateral lung was successfully removed by lobect...
متن کاملHistory of limited resection for non-small cell lung cancer.
A retrospective study of limited resection for lung cancer in a large number of patients was first reported in the 1970s. The reported outcome of segmentectomy was comparable to that of standard lobectomy. The North American Lung Cancer Study Group (LCSG) performed a randomized controlled clinical trial to compare limited resection (segment or wedge) with lobectomy for T1N0 (stage IA) non-small...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-008613 DESCRIPTION Eventration of the diaphragm is an abnormal elevation of an intact diaphragm. There are two distinct aetiological types of eventration: congenital and acquired. The acquired diaphragmatic eventration is rarely seen in adults and the most common a...
