Abstract

Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis. Adrenal metastasis (AM), in NSCLC, are present in 5-10% of patients at initial presentation. Several case reports have shown that operation of isolated AM results in longer survival time. We describe a 55 year-old man with diagnosis of NSCLC with operable lung tumor and solitary AM treated with combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by primary site and metastasis surgery. He was diagnosed on March 2002 and is still alive.
