RESUMO
Gastric volvulus is a rare complication after pulmonary resection. To date, only eight cases of postpulmonary resection gastric volvulus have been reported in the English literature, and several of these patients underwent left pneumonectomy or had hiatal hernia. This report describes a case of postlobectomy gastric volvulus in a 73-year-old woman without hiatal hernia.

We describe a case of simultaneous resection of lung and liver metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma, with reference to previous reports. A 51-year-old female was admitted for treatment of nodules shadow in the right lung and in the left lateral side of the liver discovered by computed tomography (CT). She had been treated for uterine leiomyosarcoma 19 months earlier. Segmentectomy of the right S6 of the lung and left lateral segmentectomy of the liver were performed. The tumors pathologically diagnosed as metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma. After 29 months, a metastasis to the left lung was detected and thoracoscopic resection was performed. The patient died due to multiple metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma after 36 months.

We described a case of simultaneously treated thymoma associated with lung cancer, with reference to previous reports. A male in his forties who was pointed out a mediastinal mass and a nodular shadow in the right lower lung field on chest X-ray was admitted to our hospital. The resection of right lower portion of thymus and right lower lobectomy of the lung were performed. The mediastinal mass appeared to be a thymoma. Although thymomas associated with lung cancer are uncommon, the relationship between thymomas and the incidence of nonthymic malignancy is discussed in several papers. Since lung cancer is increasing in our country, thymoma associated with lung cancer are expected to increase.
