[A resected case of triple cancer in the uterus, lung and thyroid]

A 62 year-old woman was admitted to our clinic for the treatment of lung cancer. Right middle and lower lobectomy was performed. Histological diagnosis was well differentiated adenocarcinoma in the right lower lobe (yp-T2N1M0, stage II). Forty-seven months before the pulmonary resection (at the age of 57 year-old), she had undergone hysterectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the uterus (carcinoma in situ). Forty-three months after the pulmonary resection (at the age of 65 year-old), two minute thyroid cancer were resected. Twenty-one resected cases of triple cancer including lung cancer have been reported in Japanese literature.
