The case of a 57-year-old man who had previously undergone left lobectomy for echinococcal disease of the lung is described. Sixteen years later he presented with empyema and bronchopleural fistula, which were treated using a pedicled intercostal muscle bundle, an omental pedicle and partial thoracoplasty. The patient recovered and is well 6 years later.
