There are several described pulmonary complications due to laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. We report a rare case of a 32-year-old male who presented with pulmonary symptoms and a solitary lung mass 12 years after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. A bronchoscopic lung biopsy showed organizing pneumonia that was induced by aspiration pneumonia. The atypical radiological appearance of the aspiration pneumonia may pose a diagnostic challenge, and clinicians' awareness regarding such an entity is needed to avoid unnecessary intervention.
腹腔镜可调节胃束带术可导致多种已被描述的肺部并发症。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名32岁男性在接受腹腔镜可调节胃束带术12年后出现肺部症状及孤立性肺肿块。支气管镜肺活检显示为吸入性肺炎诱发的机化性肺炎。吸入性肺炎的非典型放射学表现可能带来诊断挑战,临床医生需要了解此类情况以避免不必要的干预。
