Abstract

A case of triple primary lung cancers--squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large-cell carcinoma--is presented. Surgical treatment comprised, respectively, left pneumonectomy, partial resection of the right upper lobe and completion right upper lobectomy. The postoperative courses were uneventful and the patient remains well, with no sign of recurrence, 20 months after the third operation.
