Abstract

Tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy consists of en bloc resection of the lung, main bronchus plus a section of the carina and its subsequent anastomosis with the remaining main-stem bronchus. We present the unique case of a 56-year-old patient, who underwent tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy for a complex pulmonary aspergilloma invading almost the entire right lung up to the carina.<br /> (© The Author(s) 2022.
