Abstract

Reports on successful surgical treatment of patients with non-small lung carcinoma and adrenal metastasis are infrequent. For this reason the Authors believe interesting to report a case of a patient with non-small lung cancer and single adrenal metastasis who underwent lung superior lobectomy and, after chemotherapy, adrenalectomy. A relapse was observed one year later in the lumbar region and the patient was reoperated undergoing removal of the recurrence associated to splenectomy and pancreas tail resection; thereafter the patient was treated with local radiotherapy. Forty-one months after the first operation the patient is well and disease free.
