Description

Synchronous multiple primary lung cancer is uncommon. They present at the same time, but are distinct and have different histologic features. Synchronous triple primary lung cancer is rare and only few cases have been reported previously.

Anatomical resection and histological analysis revealed 3 different types of lung carcinoma with radiologic-pathologic correlation
