Abstract
We present a patient with three lung cancers composed of adenosquamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Marked response was obtained in squamous cell carcinoma components following chemotherapy, but not in adenocarcinoma components. Even multiple malignant lesions of the lung might have a chance to be controlled by a combination of chemotherapy and surgery.
