Postsegmentectomy pseudotumor of the lung

Abstract

After an apicoposterior staple segmental resection for squamous cell carcinoma of the left upper lobe, a "new" mass developed in the remaining upper lobe, 8 months postoperatively. Upon removal, this proved to be an ischemic infarction in the anterior segment. Residual lung rotation may have compounded local lung ischemia secondary to the staple technique of resection. One clue to this pseudotumor development appears to be prolonged postoperative "haziness" on chest roentgenograms.
