AbstractA case of contralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy was reported. Intrathoracic drainage was performed and pneumothorax was healed. Recurrent pneumothorax was occurred in this patient and intrathoracic drainage was performed again and pneumothorax was healed. We suspected that bulla was the cause of pneumothorax and thought that contralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy must be carefully follow-up.
