Introduction: After the liver, lung is the next most common metastases site of rectal cancer. But the surgical treatment of lung metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is still controversial.
Case Report: Here we report a 36-year-old male patient who survived 48 months without tumor after radical resection of colorectal cancer, 24 months without tumor after lung metastasis and surgical resection, and 42 months without tumor after recurrence of metastasis and surgical resection.
Conclusion: Surgical resection of solitary pulmonary metastases in CRC patients can benefit patients.
Keywords: Colorectal cancer, Lung metastases, Surgical treatment
