Unilateral upper lung field pulmonary fibrosis (upper-PF) that is radiologically consistent with PPFE reportedly develops after lung cancer surgery in the operated side and presents many clinical characteristics in common with PPFE. However, the incidence and perioperative associated factors remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>All consecutive patients with lung cancer resected completely from 2008 to 2016 were investigated retrospectively. Pre-\/postoperative characteristics were compared between patients with and without unilateral upper-PF. Cumulative incidence curves were estimated using competing risk analysis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Among the 587 included patients, 25 patients (4.3%) were diagnosed as unilateral upper-PF. The 3-, 5- and 10-year cumulative incidence of unilateral upper-PF was 2.3%, 3.3% and 5.3%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, male sex, presence of a pulmonary apical cap, lobar resection and low % vital capacity (%VC\u2009&amp;lt;\u200980%) were independent perioperative associated factors. The 10-year cumulative incidence was 6.3% in patients treated with lobar resection, 8.0% in male patients, 10.3% in patients with pulmonary apical cap and 14.5% in patients with low %VC. Postoperative pleural effusion at 6\u2009months after surgery was much more common in the patients who later developed unilateral upper-PF (96.0% vs 24.2%). This pleural effusion persisted and was accompanied thereafter by pleural thickening and subpleural pulmonary fibrosis. During the clinical courses of 25 patients with unilateral upper-PF, 18 patients presented symptoms related to upper-PF and 6 patients died.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
