    Abstract:
    A 81-year-old man who had medical treatment for both COPD and essential hypertension was admitted to our institution for evaluation of shadows of a mass in the right upper field on chest X-rays. The tumor was 3.0 cm in diameter on chest CT and diagnosed to be bronchogenic squamous cell carcinoma on the basis of findings of bronchoscopic brushing. The thoracoscopic wedge resection was undergone for cT1N0M0 lung cancer in the high-risk patient. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged one month after the operation. He is now doing well without relapse of cancer a year and half after the operation.
