    Abstract:
    A 71-year-old female was seen with a complaint of chest pain and cough, and a history of tuberculous pleurisy and artificial pneumothorax 40 years ago. The diagnosis of empyema with carcinoma was made by chest X-ray and CT scans. The examination of lung function showed a restrictive disorder. The value of the predicted postoperative FEV1 0.75 l encouraged to perform operation. A left pleuropneumonectomy and combined resections of the invasive portion of the pericardium and left atrium was performed. Histological examination revealed large cell carcinoma of lung (pT 4 N 1 M 0). The literatures are reviewed concerning the thoracic malignant tumor arising in chronic empyema cavity on Japanese cases.
