Lung tumors are the most frequent solid tumor in the heart transplant population. Unfortunately, most of these patients are in an advanced stage of disease at the time of presentation, which carries a poor prognosis. We present a heart transplant patient with histologically proven. Stage IIIA-N2 bronchogenic adenocarcinoma who had complete lymph-node downstaging after induction chemotherapy and underwent a complete tumor resection by right pneumonectomy.

Abstract
Lung tumors are the most frequent solid tumor in the heart transplant population. Unfortunately, most of these patients are in an advanced stage of disease at the time of presentation, which carries a poor prognosis. We present a heart transplant patient with histologically proven. Stage IIIA-N2 bronchogenic adenocarcinoma who had complete lymph-node downstaging after induction chemotherapy and underwent a complete tumor resection by right pneumonectomy.
