	abstract = {Giant bullous emphysema (GBE), known as ‘vanishing lung syndrome’, usually occurs in association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this report, we describe a patient with giant emphysematous bulla occupying approximately 95% of the right hemithorax, who had history of repeated attacks of acute exacerbation of COPD. About 95% of right pulmonary parenchyma was removed. Delightfully, the 5% of residual lung compressed for 4 years gradually inflated, and occupied the whole hemithorax. Preoperatively he was functionally and clinically severely disabled while improved markedly after bullectomy.},
