Abstract

The Swyer-James syndrome is one of the very few condition that the density of one lung is markedly less than the density of the other and frequently presents a diagnostic problem. In 1989, we reported a case of Swyer-James Syndrome. Recently, we experienced a new case of this syndrome. Left upper lobectomy was performed and postoperative pneumonia was developed, but the patient was recovered.
