The incidence of multiple primary bronchogenic carcinomas has increased in Japan as the incidence of bronchogenic malignancy has increased. The patient was a 71-year-old man with simultaneous multiple bronchogenic carcinomas. He had large cell carcinoma in the left upper lobe and adenocarcinoma in the left lower lobe. We reviewed 66 reported Japanese cases with multiple lung cancers with special reference to sex distribution, age, simultaneous or metachronous, location, histological types, treatment and prognosis.
