J Surg Case Rep. 2012 Aug 1;2012(8):2. doi: 10.1093/jscr/2012.8.2.

Abstract

We report the case of a sixty one year old female diagnosed with two synchronous primary lung cancers located within the same lobe. Surgical resection was performed, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient developed distant bone and skin metastases one year post-surgical resection. In this report we discuss the multimodality therapy used to treat this patient.
