Abstract
A 73-year-old woman who underwent right upper lobectomy for tuberculosis 40 years earlier was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, clinical stage IIA (T2bN0M0), in the right lower lobe of her lung. A lower lobectomy with preservation of the middle lobe was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery. She is alive without signs of recurrence or requirement for additional oxygen support 6 years after the operation.
