Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare complication occurring after pneumonectomy. It is defined as extrinsic compression of a bronchus associated with a significant shift of the mediastinum. A man aged 45 years with history of C7 tetraparesis, presented with a postpneumonectomy-like syndrome 2 months after a right lower lobectomy. We performed a right pneumonectomy combined with implantation of 2 intrathoracic inflatable mammary implants. The patient remained asymptomatic after 6 months of follow-up. We believe this is the first reported case of a postpneumonectomy-like syndrome occurring after lobectomy.

Postpneumonectomy like syndrome is a very rare condition and benign bronchoesophageal fistula (BEF) is also uncommon in the adult. Therefore, the probability of occurrence of BEF secondary to postpneumonectomy like syndrome will be extremely rare, and has not been reported yet in the literature. This is the first case report of postpneumonectomy like syndrome combined BEF after bilobectomy and postoperative radiation therapy for lung cancer.
