Abstract
A 63-years-old man presented with pan-peritonitis during a course of chemotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the lung. An emergency operation was performed, which delineated a number of nodules in the peritoneum and gut wall. The diagnosis of metastatic lung cancer in the abdomen was made, and a perforation was found in one of these lesions. Although such perforations are rare, intestinal metastasis of lung cancer should always be taken into consideration during chemotherapy. The patient's post-operative hospital stay was prolonged for granulocytopenia due to cancer chemotherapy and the he was discharged at 38 POD without complications.
