摘要
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma typically associated with smoking The incidence of the disease has reduced in recent years in Western Europe as smoking habits have changed [1]. SCLC in never smokers is rare and aetiology unclear Young's syndrome is another rare condition, characterized by chronic sinopulmonary infection and obstructive azoospennia The pathobiology of this is also poorly understood Here we describe a case of both Young syndrome and SCLC in a never smoker, and raise the possibility of a common aetiology underpinned by aberrant hedgehog signalling (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd All rights reserved
