    AbstractA 59-year-old male developed a severe adult respiratory distress syndrome following a right pneumonectomy for pulmonary cancer. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for 11 days was life-saving. The operation was considered curative, but the patient died nine months later with multiple metastases. The pathogenesis and treatment for postpneumonectomy pulmonary oedema and an explanation for rapid dissemination of the cancer are stated.
