title: [A case of double primary cancer of lung and trachea].
abstract: A 57-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with bloody sputum, whose right lung had been resected for squamous cell carcinoma of the lung three and a half years ago. Tomographic examinations and chest CT films showed the presence of tracheal tumor. Histological examinations of the biopsy specimen obtained from tracheal tumor, using bronchofiberscopy, identified squamous cell carcinoma. Trachea was resected in the length of six cartilages and end to end anastomosis was performed. Though lung cancer and tracheal cancer were same histological type, clinical findings confirmed that this case was double primary cancer. Postoperative course was uneventful except for minor leakage of anastomosis site.
