Abstract
We report a case of pulmonary injury due to fusion resin jetted at high pressure. A 28-year-old man, who worked in a casting factory, was shot in the chest with a high pressure of fusion resin. Chest CT scan visualized foreign substances and blood in the thoracic cavity and the lung. Penetrating trauma of the lung was suspected and emergency surgery was performed the same day. During surgery, the foreign body was removed and partial lung resection was performed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Such an injury is very rare, and for such case, it was important to clarify the course and a range of traumatic injury by image diagnosis preoperatively. We must choose an adequate surgical method by considering the complication in such procedures.
