Abstract:
We experienced a resected case of metastatic lung tumor with a right displaced segmental bronchus (B1+3). The patient was an 82-year-old woman who had a history of surgery for transverse colon cancer. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a nodular shadow with an irregular margin( 3.1 cm in diameter) in the right upper lobe, which was suspected of a primary lung cancer. Chest CT and bronchoscopy revealed B1+3 displaced segmental bronchus. Thoracoscope-assisted right upper lobectomy was performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The pathological diagnosis was a metastatic lung tumor from the transverse colon cancer.
