We report a case of @entity2914 following left pleuropneumonectomy. A 70-year-old @entity1 was referred to our hospital after tube drainage for 3 months due to left pyothorax. He had a past history of @entity378 . Pleuropneumonectomy with partial resection of the muscle layer of the diaphragm was performed because adhesion of pleurae was severe. On the 19th postoperative day, he started to develop a slight fever. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated @entity2914 . On the 22nd postoperative day, we performed surgery because panperitonitis developed. At laparotomy, the transverse colon was pierced by the cut end of the rib. We successfully repaired the diaphragm and established transverse colostomy. The @entity1 has been in good health for more than 10 years after the surgery.
