A 47-year-old man was admitted to Shinshu University Hospital in 1992 because of cough and chest abnormal shadow. In 1987, he had an operation for Meibomian gland carcinoma of his right lower eyelid, and also received radiotherapy. His chest X-ray film on admission showed tumor shadows in the bilateral upper lung fields. The chest CT scan showed tumors in the right S1 and the left S3. Bronchofiberscopic findings demonstrated stenosis of the right upper bronchus and an endobronchial mass occluding the left B3. A biopsy specimen of the endobronchial mass revealed sebaceous carcinoma, which was identical with that of the resected eyelid tumor. He received two courses of chemotherapy in a combination of CDDP 75 mg/m2 and ADM 50 mg/m2. The tumors on chest X-ray and CT scan became small by the chemotherapy. Bronchofiberscopy after the chemotherapy also revealed that the stenosis of the right upper bronchus improved and the endobronchial mass in the left B3 had disappeared. He died 8 months after initial chemotherapy with a response duration of 7 months.
