Case Report on Thoracic Surgery


Anatomic bisegmentectomy for synchronous lung adenocarcinoma

Arthur Vieira, Paula Ugalde Figueroa

Abstract

Modern thoracic surgery requires the ability to manage patients with ground glass opacities (GGO). However, due to the lack of a standardize approach in our institution these cases are discussed in the tumor board. We here present our therapeutic rationale in a case of a patient with multiple GGOs, who underwent an en-bloc anatomic bisegmentectomy as surgical treatment for a synchronous lung adenocarcinoma.
