A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for epigastric pain. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a type 2- like ulcerative lesion in the posterior wall of the upper and middle part of the stomach. Endoscopic biopsies showed malignant T-cell lymphoma histologically. A chest CT scan revealed a nodule in the apex of right lung, suggestive of primary lung cancer. A total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed. Seventy-three days after surgery, the patient developed a lung abscess in the middle lobe of the right lung. A wedge-shaped resection of the upper lobe and total resection of the middle lobe of the right lung was performed. Histological examination revealed a primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in the upper lobe of right lung and an abscess caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the middle lobe of the right lung. Twelve months after surgery the man died of suffocation because of aspiration due to esophageal stenosis caused by progression of metastasis of the paraesophageal lymph node.
