    AbstractWe report a case of lung cancer treated with pirfenidone as preoperative therapy before subsequent successful surgical resection. A 76-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of abnormal shadows and diffuse reticular shadow in bilateral lung on chest computed tomography(CT). CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy confirmed suquamous cell carcinoma for both lung. Pulmonary reticular shadow was diagnosed as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) clinically and the pirfenidone was administered 600 mg daily and increased by 600 mg for every week until 1,800 mg/day to control IPF. After 3 weeks pirfenidone therapy, Krebs von den Lungen( KL)-6, pulmonary surfactant( SP)-D and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) decreased, and the patient underwent wedge resection. His postoperative course was uneventful.
