Abstract:
A 10-year-old boy was injured in a traffic accident, and computed tomography revealed cavitary pulmonary lesions in the left lower lobe. Although there was no evidence of bacterial infection, thrombocytopenia due to disseminated intravascular coagulation progressed. We performed a left lower lobectomy, and the patient improved rapidly.
