We report a case of a severely underweight and flat chest woman with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who was successfully treated with cadaveric sequential bilateral lung transplantation. By the fourth months after transplantation, we found three-dimensional CT volumetry is a feasible way to evaluate postoperative thoracic cage change.
