Abstract

|
Multiple primary lung cancer is a rare disease entity and its clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis are poorly described. But the multiple primary lung cancer have a more favorable prognosis than locally recurrent or metastastic
disease.
Therefore, appropriate identification of multiple primary lung cancer will be very important.
We have experienced a case of stage I multiple primary lung cancer in a 76-year-old male with two large mass in the right lower lobe without metastasis in the mediastinal lymph nodes with right mid and lower lobectomy.
The microscopic pictures revealed adenocarcinoma in one and small cell carcinoma in the other.
The post-operative course was uneventful for 4 months and he was treated with chemotherapy for complete remission of small cell carcinoma to now after discharge. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1993;26:722-5)
