Abstract:
Long term survival in small cell lung cancer is rather rare, and in such instances the risk for secondary malignancy increases. We report the case of an adenosquamous carcinoma occurring after a 6-year disease free period following treatment of an ipsilateral small cell lung cancer. The patient was treated by pneumonectomy and is still alive 4 years after surgery.
