Pleuropneumonectomy and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for carcinomatous pleuritis in primary lung cancer: a case report of long- term survival

Division of Thoracic Surgery, Tochigi Cancer Center, Japan.

We present a 5-year survivor with lung adenocarcinoma accompanied by carcinomatous pleuritis who underwent pleuropneumonectomy followed by systemic chemotherapy. The pleural disease was not detectable on the chest roentgenograms or computed tomographic scans. The combination of the surgical procedure and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may be a potentially curative treatment in selected patients with carcinomatous pleuritis of lung cancer.
