Nonpenetrating blunt trauma causing pulmonary pseudocyst is very rare. A 25-year-old young male suffered from motor vehicle accident. He was transferred to our hospital with severe hemoptysis. ⋯ Therefore, one lung ventilation using a uni-vent tube blocker was performed. After twelve hours blockade, the cavity lesion was enlarged and trans-bronchial bleeding was continued severely. Emergency right lower lobectomy was carried out successfully.
