Completion pneumonectomy (CP) is a difficult operation in which the surgeon must use techniques such as intrapericardial ligation of the pulmonary vessels. We report herein a case of CP for a patient with recurrent lung cancer. A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of abnormal shadows in the right lung field in October 2002. Right middle lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection had been performed in February 1993. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a hilar mass in the right upper lobe the day after admission. Bronchofiberscopic cytology revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Right completion pneumonectomy was performed on suspicion of metachronous multiple lung cancers 4 days later. Histopathologically, resected specimens represented adenosquamous carcinoma similar to the prior lesion from the middle lobe, and examination revealed that the tumor represented a recurrence following middle lobectomy. The patient remains well as of 19 months postoperatively.
