โฆ Synopsis
Surgical treatment for metastatic lesions from lung cancer is seldom performed. We have treated three patients with a unilateral adrenal metastasis with adrenalectomy . Simultaneous resection of primary lung cancer and adrenal metastasis was performed in two cases. This is the first report of such surgical management. Adrenalectomy after lung resection was done in the third case. Two of the patients are alive and well more than 5 years after adrenalectomy. These cases are presented, and the literature is reviewed.

Although abdominal metastasis from lung cancer are not unusual postmortem findings, they are rarely of clinical significance. Our patient's clinical course was complicated by intestinal obstruction secondary to metastatic lung cancer. With the current epidemic of lung cancer, we can expect more pati

However, a small subset of patients with isolated adrenal metastases may achieve long-term survival with aggressive surgical resection of the adrenal gland. To clarify the role of adren
The adrenal gland is a frequent site for metastases from lung carcinoma. We have treated five patients with a solitary symptomatic mass in the adrenal by palliative adrenalectomy with fair results. These case reports and discussion of the literature are presented.
