Synchronous Quadruple Lung Cancer Treated Curatively by Photodynamic Therapy
A 54-year-old male was diagnosed as having synchronous quadruple early stage lung
cancer. All four tumors showed the same histologic type of in-situ or microinvasive
squamous cell carcinoma, but existed independently in different bronchi. Photodynamic
therapy of these four lesions was successfully performed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy
because of the patient's poor pulmonary function. The patient is alive and well 51
months later
An Early Stage Diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma Within a Visible Site of Bronchofiberscope Accompanied by Peripheral Lung Cancer
We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma found at the orifice of right B2 accompanied by peripheral lung cancer in a 66-year-old asymptomatic man. Chest X-ray films showed a mass
shadow in the left lower lung field. Transbronchial lung biopsy of left S9 demonstrated
squamous cell carcinoma. Simultaneously wall thickening at the orifice of the right B2 was
found coincidentally. The biopsy specimen from that site showed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
(diffuse B-cell type). After left lower lobectomy, systemic chemotherapy was performed. It is
rare for malignant lymphoma to be recognized bronchofiberscopically
