Zitieren

We present a case of a male patient who underwent right-sided pneumonectomy due to central low-grade squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung, chemo-, radio-, and immunotherapy. However, the disease progressed. In addition the patient got SARSCoV-2 pneumonia in the left lung, followed by postpneumonectomy empyema. Right-sided uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopy, debridement, and definitive drainage of the pleural cavity were performed.
