A case of triple cancers involving the stomach, rectum and lung is reported. A 75-year-old male was admitted to our clinic for the treatment of lung cancer. Right upper lobectomy was performed. Histological diagnosis was small cell lung carcinoma intermediate cell type (pT2N1M0, stage II). At the age of 70-year-old (sixty-two months before the pulmonary resection), he had undergone the resection of gastric cancer.
