A 71-year-old man with primary lung cancer associated with Brugada syndrome was safely operated on following the placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). During examinations for Brugada syndrome, a tumor in the apicoposterior segment of the left lung was incidentally detected by chest computed tomography. Following the implantation of an ICD, surgical treatment of the left lung tumor was scheduled. A lung biopsy was thoracoscopically performed and adenocarcinoma was diagnosed based on a frozen section analysis. A left upper lobectomy with lymph node dissection was performed through a standard posterolateral thoracotomy. Ventricular fibrillation, which occurred during the night of the first day following surgery, was successfully managed by the ICD.
