A 71-year-old man with a pulmonary carcinoma had torsion of the right upper lobe of the lung. A chest radiogram showed change of the opacified lobe in position. At right thoracotomy, we found that the atelectatic right upper lobe occupied with a giant tumor moved freely in the right thoracic cage due to the defect of parenchymal bridge between the contiguous lobes. Though lung torsion is a rare event, it might be kept in mind as a complication of malignant tumors or life-threatening lung infarctions.
一名71岁的肺癌男性发生了右肺上叶扭转。胸部X线片显示肺叶位置有改变。在右侧开胸手术中，我们发现被巨大肿瘤占据的肺不张右上叶由于相邻肺叶之间实质桥的缺损而在右侧胸腔内自由移动。尽管肺扭转是一种罕见的情况，但作为恶性肿瘤或危及生命的肺梗死的并发症，应予以考虑。
