Abstract

A 60'-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of nodular shadow found at mass screening. We diagnosed the tumor as non-small cell lung cancer by transbronchial biopsy. Chest computed tomography showed a tumor shadow of 3 cm in diameter with cavity. Right middle lobectomy was performed and the pathological diagnosis was pleomorphic carcinoma of the lung. The tumor recurrence was found at 10 months after surgery, and was treated with cisplatin, docetaxel plus bevacizumab for 6 cycles. A complete remission was achieved, but regrowth at 5 months after chemotherapy was noted. The patient was treated with nivolumab following carboplatin, gemcitabine plus bevacizumab 3 cycles. A good partial response is continuing 2 years and 5 months after confirming recurrence.
