A case of axillary sweat gland carcinoma which metastasized to both lungs five years after resection of the primary lesion is described. After the resection of right lung metastasis, systemic chemotherapy was performed, but no response was achieved. The patient has no complaints now, but there are new and multiple metastases in both lungs. I propose that the complete remission can be achieved only by resections.
