ABSTRACT
Lung transplantation is an effective treatment for many end-stage lung diseases. Lung cancer was considered to be a contraindication of lung transplantation for a long time. However, multifocal diffuse adenocarcinoma has been indicated for lung transplantation nowadays. In the preoperative course of lung transplantation for chronic end-stage lung diseases, patients should be examined thoroughly to exclude malignant tumors. If malignant tumors were incidentally found in recipient' s explanted lung, a careful evaluation of tumor stage and the prognosis of recipient is needed. Lung transplantations for metastatic lung tumors have only been reported in a few case reports, limiting the application of transplantation in current clinical practice.
