Synchronous lung cancer presenting with small cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma

Chest. 1993 Nov;104(5):1602-4. doi: 10.1378/chest.104.5.1602.

Abstract

We describe a case of synchronous primary lung cancer presenting with small cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, in which expression of the cell surface antigens and also tumor markers were evaluated immunohistologically. A review of the literature concerning synchronous or metachronous primary lung cancers is also presented.
