A 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in 2020 and scheduled for robotic assisted-left upper lobectomy. Unfortunately, the patient contracted symptomatic COVID-19, resulting in postponement of lung resection. She was admitted for surgery 6 weeks after the acute infection. A preoperative computed tomographic scan showed widespread interstitial pneumonitis. However, the operation went ahead given concerns over tumor progression, albeit with a lesser resection to preserve lung tissue because the patient was slightly hypoxic. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful, and she was discharged 5 days later. Final histology confirmed a fully resected stage T1c N0 M0 adenocarcinoma of the lung.
一位 65 岁女性于 2020 年被诊断为早期肺癌,拟行机器人辅助左上肺叶切除术。不幸的是,患者感染了有症状的 COVID-19,导致肺切除术推迟。急性感染后 6 周,她入院接受手术。术前 CT 扫描显示广泛的间质性肺炎。然而,考虑到肿瘤进展,手术仍在进行,尽管为了保留肺组织而进行了较小的切除,因为患者有轻度缺氧。她的术后恢复顺利,5 天后出院。最终的组织学证实为完全切除的 T1c N0 M0 期肺腺癌。
