    Abstract:
    Two patients with postoperative interstitial pneumonia are reported. Preoperative diagnosis was primary lung cancer without idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). Within one week after operation acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) occurred on the nonoperated side and developed. Steroid therapy was performed but one was dead. AIP is a fatal complication after pulmonary resection and steroid therapy may be useful in some cases of postoperative AIP.
