A 58-year-old man underwent surgery for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma at our hospital. He had a history of spinal caries at the age of 3 and frequent recurrent asthma-like symptoms thereafter. Chest plain radiography revealed an irregularly shaped mass in the left hilum and a thoracic cage severely deformed by kyphosis. A pulmonary function test demonstrated a severe restrictive ventilation pattern. He underwent a left upper lobectomy without mediastinal dissection. His asthma-like symptoms were exacerbated by difficulty in expectoration of sputum for several days after surgery, but the symptoms disappeared without any medical care. Dyspnea, hemoptysis, and intrathoracic hemorrhage were observed on the 8th postoperative day. Computed tomography revealed torsion of the residual left lower lobe, but the symptoms spontaneously disappeared in a week. The patient had complained of frequent coughing and mild dyspnea on exertion for years, but his quality of life was unchanged after the lobectomy. Bone metastasis was detected 3 years after the surgery, and the patient then underwent chemotherapy. However, he died of the disease 4 years 2 months after the surgery.
