We present a 5-year survivor with lung adenocarcinoma accompanied by carcinomatous pleuritis who underwent pleuropneumonectomy followed by systemic chemotherapy. The pleural disease was not detectable on the chest roentgenograms or computed tomographic scans. The combination of the surgical procedure and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may be a potentially curative treatment in selected patients with carcinomatous pleuritis of lung cancer.
我们报告一例5年存活的肺腺癌伴癌性胸膜炎患者，该患者接受了胸膜肺切除术，随后进行了全身化疗。胸部X线片或计算机断层扫描未发现胸膜病变。手术治疗与术后辅助化疗相结合可能是治疗部分肺癌癌性胸膜炎患者的一种潜在治愈性方法。
