Abstract

A 45-year-old male was admitted to Department of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Hospital with the chief complaints of cough and high fever of two months duration. His chest roentgenogram revealed homogenous ill-defined increased density in right lower lung, and bronchogram showed the abrupt cut-off sign of the proximal portion of the right intermediate bronchus. Preoperative evaluation of this patient revealed no contraindication of the pulmonary surgery. So Radical Right pneumonectomy was performed under the preoperative impression of lung cancer. And post-operative course was uneventful. Pathologic examination of the resected lung revealed Carcinosarcoma without regional lymphnode metastasis.
