Abstract
A 78-year-female underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The final diagnosis was moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma, T4a, N2, M0, Stage ⅢB. Four years later, S6 hepatic metastasis and S9 pulmonary metastasis were detected. After 10 courses of S-1 plus oxaliplatin therapy, she received partial hepatectomy(S6). One year after hepatectomy, she underwent partial pulmonary resection for lung metastasis in the left lung(S9). Histopathological findings revealed the lung tumor was a pulmonary metastasis from gastric cancer with a small primary lung adenocarcinoma. There has been no recurrence for 30 months since the last operation.
