Abstract:
A 60-year-old patient returned 1 year after right pneumonectomy with a new primary squamous cell carcinoma of the left lower lobe. Using fluoroscopic guidance, the lesion and the shortest track to the surface were marked by methylene blue preoperatively. The lesion was easily excised by wedge resection without the need for manipulation or deflation of the lung.
