[A long survival case of small cell lung cancer synchronized with renal cancer]

A long survival case of small cell lung cancer synchronized with renal cancer was reported. The patient was a 73-year-old male, complaining of cough and fever up. The chest roentgenogram showed a tumor mass in the right lower lung field. The specimen obtained from transbronchial lung biopsy of right S8b was diagnosed as small cell carcinoma of lung. In the check of the metastasis to other organs, abdominal CT scanning and the echogram demonstrated a solitary mass in the left kidney. We supposed a possibility of primary renal cancer rather than the metastasis from the lung because of being solitary mass, no existence of the metastasis except the kidney, and from the finding of the renal angiography. The patient underwent left nephrectomy for the renal cancer, and also underwent right lower lobectomy for the lung cancer after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy using cisplatinum and carboquone. Pathologically, the renal lesion was diagnosed as typical clear cell carcinoma of the kidney. He has survived for more than 4 years.
