title: [Case of primary double lung cancer in the same lobe].
abstract: In a 70-year-old male complaining chiefly of cough and expectoration, an abnormal shadow was detected in the left upper lobe by chest X-ray. Therefore, he was admitted for further examination. A tumorous shadow, 5 X 4.5 X 2.5 cm was noted; it corresponded to S1 + 2b on the left side. Left upper lobectomy was performed. Histologic findings of the excised lung were giant cell cancer in the tumorous part, and squamous epithelial cancer at the cut end of the bronchus, i.e. the cut end of the left upper bronchi. This is a rare case with primary double cancer in the same lobe.
