Synchronous multiple primary lung tumors are a relatively rare entity with an increasing incidence in recent years due to the development of thoracic imaging and immunohistochemical techniques. The second lesion is considered in most cases as a secondary location, which partly explains the decrease in the incidence of this entity. We report the observation of a 74-year-old patient with two synchronous primary lung tumors, an adenocarcinoma and an epidermoid carcinoma. Through this clinical observation, we highlight the difficulty of diagnosing synchronous tumors and the major interest of new imaging modalities and immunohistochemical techniques for the optimal management of these tumors.
同步性多原发性肺肿瘤是一种相对罕见的疾病，近年来由于胸部影像学和免疫组织化学技术的发展，其发病率呈上升趋势。在大多数情况下，第二个病灶被认为是继发性部位，这在一定程度上解释了该疾病发病率的下降。我们报告了一例74岁患者，患有两个同步性原发性肺肿瘤，一个腺癌和一个表皮样癌。通过这一临床观察，我们强调了诊断同步性肿瘤的困难，以及新的影像学方法和免疫组织化学技术对这些肿瘤的最佳管理的重要意义。
