[Surgical problem of lung cancer with coexisting acute pulmonary tuberculosis].
Four patients with coexistent lung cancer and acute pulmonary tuberculosis were operated during recent 5 years. All were males and cigarette smokers (B.I. > 600). Adenocarcinoma were recovered from 3 patients, while the remaining 1 had squamous cell carcinoma. Only 1 curative resection was performed for lung cancer. In most cases, late stage of the disease was alleged to be a factor contributing to the poor prognosis.
