Synchronous Triple Primary Lung Cancer: A Rare Case with Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation

Abstract

Synchronous multiple primary lung cancer is uncommon. They present at the same time, but are distinct and have different histologic features. Synchronous triple primary lung cancer is rare and only few cases have been reported previously. We described a case of synchronous triple primary lung cancers in an asymptomatic 64-year-old man that showed different radiologic features of lung tumors on chest computed tomography images. Anatomical resection and histological analysis revealed 3 different types of lung carcinoma with radiologic-pathologic correlation.
