Abstract
A 63-year-old male complained of hemosputum and chest-computed tomography showed a mass in the left lung. Fiberoptic-bronchoscopy revealed a tumor obstructing the left lower bronchus and a tumor over the right upper bronchus and the second carina. Both tumors were squamous cell carcinomas. A left lower sleeve lobectomy was performed without postoperative complications. One month after the initial operation, a right upper sleeve lobectomy was performed. Both tumors were pathological T2N0M0 and stage-IB. The patient is disease-free and well 3 years after the operation. Bilateral sleeve lobectomy is a treatment option for synchronous multiple lung cancer.
