Review of the medical literature reveals that the combination of profound immunosuppression (triple-drug immunosuppression), a heavy smoking history, advanced age and a working exposition puts cardiac transplant recipients at increased risk for the development of aggressive lung cancer [2]. These tumors in cardiac transplant recipients carry a poor prognosis. We present one case of bronchogenic carcinoma in a cardiac transplant patient. The patient was operated to resect the tumor and a long-term cure and a good quality of life should, however, be offered.journal_article10.1055/s-2001-1428611432481000169482100013
