Abstract:
Swyer-James syndrome is a rare disease with patients presenting with unilateral hyperlucent lungs and hypoperfusion due to hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery and bronchiolitis obliterans. A unilateral hyperlucent lung generally develops after a lower respiratory tract infection during early childhood. In extremely rare cases, an association of bronchogenic carcinoma with Swyer-James syndrome has been reported. We report a case of bronchogenic squamous cell carcinoma associated with Swyer-James syndrome that performed right upper lobectomy and lymph node dissection with a relevant literature review.
