From 1981 through 1997, lobectomy or pneumonectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed in 604 patients with non-small cell lung cancer, of whom 42 (7%) were diagnosed as having ipsilateral pulmonary metastasis. There were 23 males and 19 females, the mean age was 66 years. Lobectomy was carried out in 37 cases and pneumonectomy in 5. Postoperative histology identified 29 adenocarcinomas, 11 squamous cell carcinomas, 1 large cell carcinoma, and 1 adenosquamous cell carcinoma. Two cases were classified as pathologic stage I, 1 as stage II, 26 as IIIA, and 13 as IIIB. Blood vessel invasion was present in 33 cases and absent in 2 cases. Five and 10-year survival rates were 34.3% and 17.1%, respectively. Patients with pulmonary metastasis had a poorer prognosis than those without metastasis; there were local recurrences in 6 patients, distant metastases in 9, and 15 deaths. There were no significant differences in recurrence sites between patients with and without pulmonary metastasis. Multivariate analysis showed that lymph node involvement and blood vessel invasion were useful prognostic factors. Ipsilateral pulmonary metastasis in the same lobe was regarded as local invasion for which surgical resection is the optimal treatment.
