A gastric cancer was found in a 77-year-old male who had a previous history of the lobectomy of the right lung for the squamous cell carcinoma 21 years ago. He has been completely well until August, 1972 when he was admitted to Keio University Hospital with chief complaints of vomiting and epigastric pain. Upper G.I. series revealed a filling defect at the prepyloric portion of the stomach. He died of pneumonia of the left lung 9 days after the admission. The postomortem examination disclosed an adenocarcinoma of the stomach. There was no finding of relapse of lung cancer. The thymic medulla was still present which is rather unusual finding for his age. The relationship between thymus and carcinogenesis was briefly discussed with a review of 36 cases of double cancer of lung and stomach.
