Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Lung carcinoma is a relative contraindication for lung transplantation (LTx). The improvement of this procedure may successfully treat novel end-stage pulmonary diseases. In the present study, we reported one case of bilateral LTx (BLT) in a young man with bilateral lung carcinoma and reviewed related literature to investigate patient selection and curative effect. METHODS: A 42-year-old male patient underwent BLT on October 21, 2010 in our hospital. Preoperative chest CT and PET-CT showed bilateral multiple nodules and mass without positive lymph nodes or extrapulmonary metastasis. Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma was identified histologically (T4N0M0, stage IIIb). RESULTS: Routine therapies were performed postoperatively. The patient was discharged on post-operative day 66. There was no clinical or radiologic evidence of the recurrence of lung carcinoma in his latest follow-up of 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: LTx may be proposed as an efficient therapeutic option in selected patients of lung carcinoma.

Clinical radiologic features of the patient. A: Preoperative PET-CT showing bilateral multiple nodules and mass without positive lymph nodes or extrapulmonary metastasis; B: Preoperative chest CT scan showing diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities and nodules; C: CT scan of the chest obtained 6 months postoperative showing satisfactory reexpansion of double lungs with no evidence for recurrence.
患者临床影像学特征。A:术前PET-CT示双肺多发斑片状及团块样浸润阴影,纵隔淋巴结不肿大,其余部位未见转移;B:术前胸部CT示双肺野多发大片状密度增高影,边缘模糊,左肺见多个结节影;C:术后6个月随访复查胸部CT显示双肺复张良好,未见明显肿瘤复发。Clinical radiologic features of the patient.
