Unilateral segmental hyperhidrosis associated with pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

abstract：:Spirometry is a useful test of pulmonary function and can be safely performed in a variety of clinical situations. Although the technique for performing the maneuver is straightforward, there are many sources of variability in results. Specific criteria must be met in order for the test to be considered valid.
