We retrospectively investigated 186 non-small cell lung cancer cases with N2 disease in order to clarify the significance of skip metastasis. Of the 186 patients with N2 disease, negative N1 nodes recognized to be skip metastasis were seen in 62 patients (33%). The incidence of skip metastasis was n
