Abstract Background There have been few reports on surgically treated primary lung cancer accompanied by contralateral partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). In such cases, repair of the PAPVC might be necessary to avoid postoperative right-heart failure due to the increased flow of the left-to-right shunt. Case presentation We herein report a case of lung adenocarcinoma treated by left-upper lobectomy with bronchoplasty and pulmonary arterial angioplasty after induction chemoradiation therapy followed by surgical correction of the PAPVC in the right-upper lobe. The patient is alive without recurrence of lung cancer or any symptoms of heart failure 17 months after pulmonary resection. Conclusion When considering performing major pulmonary resection for lung tumor, thoracic surgeons should pay close attention to the presence of a PAPVC not only on the ipsilateral side of the lung tumor, but also the contralateral side, although it is a rare phenomenon. |
