[Experience with surgery for synchronous double cancer of rectum and lung detected after long-term follow-up for pneumoconiosis].
A 60-year-old man has been followed up for pneumoconiosis for 7 years. He was admitted to our hospital because of melena. He was undergone a colonofiberscopy and was diagnosed as rectal cancer. We performed anterior resection of the rectum (Stage I). About 5 months after the first operation, abnormal shadows of the both lungs were growing in size. Bronchoscopic examination revealed adenocarcinoma, we performed left upper lobectomy (Stage I) and this case was judged a synchronous double cancer.
