The Swyer-James syndrome is rare abnormality that may be encountered on routine chest X * ray examination and frequently presents a diagnostic problem. Recently, we experienced a case of Swyer-James syndrome which was accompanied with ipsilateral uncontrolled pneumothorax. We performed exploratory thoracotomy because of failure of re-expansion of the lung. Right pneumonectomy was performed and postoperative course was uneventful.
