Abstract
A 61-year-old man, with a history of renal transplant for immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy and surgery for advanced gastric carcinoma, was noted to have a nodular shadow of 1.3 cm in diameter in the left lung( S8) based on chest computed tomography( CT), and was suspected to have primary pulmonary carcinoma or a metastatic pulmonary tumor, for which surgical resection was performed.
