Synchronous lung cancer is the simultaneous presence of more than one primary foci of cancer in separate anatomical components of the lung. It is relatively rare. Here we report a case with synchronous lung cancers in the right and left upper lobes. The patient underwent staged bilateral lobectomies. Ten following surgery a locoregional recurrence was observed in the right hemithorax.
