Abstract

We report a case of metachronous quadruple cancer with all lesions resected duaring a 6-year period.<br> A 63-year-old man was operated on for a middle pharynx tumor at the age of 57 and for a cancer in the oral cavity at the age of 61. Subsequently, an abnormal shadow was seen on a chest X-ray film and the patient underwent a left upper lobectomy. The lung tumor was pathologically diagnosed as “primary lung cancer”. Duaring this admission, a minute esophageal tumor was also detected duraing esophageal endoscopy and the lesion was excised by endoscopic mucosal resection.<br> These has been no sign of recurrence as of 10 months after the 4th operation. Some notes on 33 cases of quadruple cancer seen in the Japanese literatiure are also presented here.
