Abstract
- Absence of the pericardium is generally asymptomatic rare congenital disorder. However, it may be life-threatening problem due to cardiac deviation or herniation after the pulmonary resection. We described a case of complete defect of the pericardium found at surgery for metastatic lung cancer. Since the left lower lobectomy was necessary, the pericardium was reconstructed with an ePTFE sheet. Postoperative course was uneventful without any symptoms at two years post-surgery.
