  ABSTRACT: We present a case report of a 63-year-old male who underwent lung resections for metastases originating from gastric cancer 18-year after total gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy. The gastrectomy was performed in 1994; histological examination of the original tumor revealed stage II poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma [pT2 (MP), N0, M0]. Chest X-ray and computed tomography in 2012 showed a well-defined tumor, 9 mm in size, at the left S3 of the lung. Thoracoscopic partial resection was performed. The tumor was diagnosed as poorly differentiated carcinoma, most likely metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma. Although rarely performed, resection of pulmonary metastases from carcinoma of the stomach was done to improve the patient’s chances for long-term survival.
