[Experience with operation for synchronous multiple primary lung cancer].
We presented a 66-year-old man with synchronous double cancers developing in the right upper lobe, which were diagnosed preoperatively. He underwent right upper lobectomy with hilar and mediastinal lymphadenectomy. Post-operative patho-histological study showed two different histologic types of cancer; one was undifferentiated carcinoma of the small cell type, and the other was moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.
