Abstract

Spontaneous regression is extremely rare in lung cancer and this in spite of its global high incidence. So far, less than 30 such cases have been reported in the literature. We report here on the case of a 68-year-old man who had the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma and in absence of any medical therapy, he had a partial spontaneous regression of tumor.
