Résumé
Living-donor lobar lung transplantation is often indicated for acute exacerbation of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia because of the long waiting time for cadaveric lung transplantation in Japan. Donors without major underlying diseases are selected after medical screening. A 44-year-old man donated his right lower lobe to his sibling with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Although he was free of any major medical problems before transplantation, fibrotic changes appeared in both the donated lung and the donor's remaining lungs in a case of familial interstitial pneumonia. For living-donor lobar lung transplantation for idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, donor candidates should be informed of the potential issue of a familial disease.
