Pancoast syndrome, which comprises a lower brachial plexus lesion and
Horner's syndrome, usually results from local invasion beyond the confines
of the lung by an apical lung carcinoma. Other causes are rare. We report
the unusual occurrence of a case of Pancoast syndrome caused by a
destructive sclerosing fibrosis after pulmonary Staphylococcus aureus
infection.
