title: Triple synchronous primary lung carcinomas treated with simultaneous resection.
abstract: The fifth case of surgical treatment for three primary bronchogenic lung cancers is presented. This is the second successful surgical case in which this occurred bilaterally and the first case in which simultaneous resection via median sternotomy for three separate primary bronchogenic carcinomas was performed. We strongly advocate this approach when feasible.
