ABSTRACT
A 19-year-old woman who presented with fever, cough, and sputum was diagnosed with a lung abscess. Since she had had a similar episode when she was 7 years old, it was considered to be a secondary lung abscess associated with congenital cystic lung disease. She was treated with multiple antibiotics, but her condition worsened to superior vena cava syndrome due to an increase in size of the abscess. We performed percutaneous drainage, and her condition improved promptly. There were no adverse events other than pain. A radical surgical resection was performed after drainage, and consequently the patient was diagnosed with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). Percutaneous drainage for lung abscess is a minimally invasive and highly effective treatment method.
