We report the case of a patient who was operated on in February 2001. We performed a wedge resection of the upper right lobe. The pathologic examination demonstrated a lung adenocarcinoma (pT2N0M0, R0). We used staple line reinforcement material (ePTFE) during the operation because the patient had an important emphysema. We re-operated in January 2005 because during follow-up we observed a suspicious image that suggested a tumoral relapse. Histopathological study showed extrinsic material compatible with the one used in the original resection.
我们报告了一例于2001年2月接受手术的患者。我们对右上叶进行了楔形切除术。病理检查显示为肺腺癌（pT2N0M0，R0）。由于该患者患有严重肺气肿，我们在手术过程中使用了吻合钉加固材料（ePTFE）。我们于2005年1月再次进行手术，因为在随访期间我们观察到一个可疑影像，提示肿瘤复发。组织病理学研究显示外部材料与初次切除时使用的材料相符。
