Synchronous multiple primary lung tumors are a relatively rare entity with an increasing incidence in recent years due to the development of thoracic imaging and immunohistochemical techniques. The second lesion is considered in most cases as a secondary location, which partly explains the decrease in the incidence of this entity. We report the observation of a 74-year-old patient with two synchronous primary lung tumors, an adenocarcinoma and an epidermoid carcinoma. Through this clinical observation, we highlight the difficulty of diagnosing synchronous tumors and the major interest of new imaging modalities and immunohistochemical techniques for the optimal management of these tumors...
