Two-stage S⁷ sleeve resection of the right lower lobe and S¹⁺² and S³ segmentectomy of the left upper lobe: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Synchronous multiple nodules in the lungs, such as peripheral ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and solid small nodules, are common, but only lesions suspected of being malignant should be surgically removed. The surgical strategy is anatomical sub-lobectomy in early stage of non-small cell lung cancer synchronously or asynchronously to decrease the impact of lung resection on the lung function. Here, we report a case of a 56-year-old man, who was a pack-a-day smoker, with endobronchial hamartomas the medial basal bronchus (B7). The patient underwent sleeve resection of the medial basal segment in the right lower lobe, followed by S¹⁺² and S³ segmentectomy because of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (T1a), which presented as mixed GGOs located in the left upper lobe.
