Abstract

In the present study we report three cases of solitary omental metastasis from non‑small cell lung cancer, which had been surgically resected at our institute. The primary site was resected in one patient (case 1) and the other two patients were treated with chemotherapy and demonstrated complete response (cases 2 and 3). The omental metastasis appeared 4 months after pneumonectomy in case 1. Two metachronous omental tumors appeared 55 and 79 months after the initial chemotherapy in case 2. In Case 3, an omental tumor appeared 6 months after chemotherapy. Case 1 succumbed to recurrence 8 months after the resection of the omental tumor. Case 2 survives with recurrent disease 8 months after resection of the second omental metastasis, and case 3 survives 6 months after resection of the omental tumor. Although omental metastasis from non‑small cell lung cancer is extremely rare, it should be considered when a patient with history of lung cancer has a tumor around the stomach.
