During the histological investigation of postoperative specimen the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma GI was established. Furthermore in subsegmental bronchus small tumor which didn't infiltrate the whole bronchial wall was noticed. The diagnosis of carcinoma planoepitheliale keratodes GII was established. For each cancer I stage of disease was established (pT1N0M0). Postoperative period was uncomplicated. In control X-ray after 3, 6, 9 months cancer recurrence wasn't diagnosed.
