Abstract

Superior sulcus or pancoast tumor refers to any primary lung cancer locating in thoracic inlet and causing pain in the periscapular region or arm. These originate in peripheral, and involve the extrapulmonary structures more than arenchyma of the lung. We experienced 1 case of superior sulcus tumor radically resected via anterior transcervical approach, which provided more safe exposure of cervical structures of thoracic inlet than classic posterolateral thoracotomy. Therefore we report this case with review of literature.
