Abstract

We report here the case of a 64-year-old man with sternal osteomyelitis after pneumonectomy through a median sternotomy who was successfully treated using a pedicled omental flap. This is the first report in the literature to describe sternal osteomyelitis and mediastinitis after pneumonectomy. In this case, the visceral pleura of the remnant right lung was located just under the infected sternum. Careful management is recommended because empyema pleurae can be a fatal complication.
