Source abstract
Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS) is characterized by unilateral hyperlucency of the lung on chest roentgenogram, unilateral reduction in vascularity on chest computed tomography, and unilateral loss of perfusion on pulmonary ventilation/perfusion scan. The prevalence of SJMS is reported to be 0.01%, with most cases occurring in children and only a few cases in adults. Therefore, SJMS associated with primary lung cancer is extremely rare. We present a case of left upper lobe lung cancer with SJMS by performing robot-assisted thoracoscopic left pneumonectomy.
