Summary Prompt and proper discovery of cause is important in lung cancer patients with signs and symptoms of in-testinal obstruction because approach for treatment may differ according to its etiology and emergency operation can often be required to prevent more severe complic-ations. In this report, we present two different causes of intestinal obstruction in lung cancer. Physicians need to be aware of these possibilities to differentiate the cause of intestinal obstruction in patients with lung cancer. References 1.
