title: [Treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer and solitary adrenal gland metastasis].
abstract: A patient with non-small-cell lung cancer and a solitary adrenal metastasis was treated with right subsegmental pulmonary resection and right adrenalectomy. Four months later an upper right lobectomy was performed because of local recurrence. Forty-one months following the initial operation the patient is doing fine without signs or symptoms of recurrence. Adrenalectomy because of a solitary adrenal metastasis in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer may offer the opportunity of prolonged survival, when a radical thoracotomy can be performed.
