Here, we will report on a 63-year-old patient with a centrally located squa mous cell carcinoma of the left lung with complete atelectasis and tumor in filtration into mediastinal pleura and fat. A known coronary two-vessel dis ease, which became highly symptomatic during the operation made a change of the planned surgical strategy necessary.
