Nakesha King, MD, MS, Shilpa S. Ramesh, MD, Michael Essandoh, MD, Robert E. Merritt, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 104, Issue 5, Pages e367-e369 (November 2017) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Preoperative imaging. (A) Initial chest radiograph demonstrated a large pneumothorax (*) with extensive left hemithoracic bullous disease (**). (B–E) Axial computed tomography of the chest progressing caudally show large bullae occupying almost the entire hemithorax with atelectatic lung compressed medially. The chest tube (arrow) courses toward the apex between remnant lung and adjacent bullae.

3 Fig 2 Intraoperative images. (A) Hemosiderin deposits (thin arrows), a sign of chronicity, infiltrating the hypoplastic anterior basilar segment of the lower lobe (*) overlying healthy lung parenchyma (**). (B) The affected segment was resected and (C) the gross specimen with emphysematous changes (thick arrow) was extracted.
