Abstract

A 65 year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a further examination of a roentgenologicaly abnormal shadow in the ipsilateral lung field during antituberculous therapy. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung was diagnosed by preoperative examinations, and then right upper lobectomy was performed. Histological findings of the resected tumor revealed double primary lung cancers (rt.B2a; squamous cell carcinoma, rt.B1b; adenocarcinoma). Metastases of each carcinomas were detected in the same right tracheobronchial lymph node (#4) coexisting with each other. There have been very few reports referring multiple primary cancers showing concurrent metastases to the same lymph node, especially in multiple primary lung cancers. We present this rare case and review the literature.
