Lobar torsion is a rare but life-threatening complication after lung resection. We report a case of left lower lobe torsion in 57-year-old women after upper lobectomy for underlying lung cancer. Definitive diagnosis of lung torsion was made at exploratory thoracotomy following abnormal chest radiography and bronchoscopy on the first post-operative day. An emergency completion pneumonectomy was ...
