Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Gastrointestinal metastasis from primary lung cancer is rare. Only a few reports have been published and the majority of described metastatic sites involved the small intestine. In the present study, we report the first case of primary lung adenocarcinoma with both gastric and colonic metastases. We also review the published literature of primary lung cancer with gastrointestinal metastasis.
