Abstract
Resection of a second primary nonsmall cell lung carcinoma in a long-term survivor of small cell lung carcinoma with brain metastasis is reported. The patient had squamous cell carcinoma as the second primary tumor and underwent lobectomy with node dissection. He was alive 79 months after the initial diagnosis of the small cell carcinoma, 64 months after the diagnosis of the brain metastasis, and 21 months after the curative pulmonary resection for his second primary carcinoma.
