Data on 50 patients with multiple separate primary carcinomas of the lung
are presented. Eighteen had synchronous tumors and 32 had metachronous
tumors, the intervals between diagnoses varying from 4 months to 16 years.
Histologic patterns in the two different carcinomas were the same in 31
patients, most commonly epidermoid, and they were different in 19 patients.
The problems involved in establishing the diagnosis of multiple primary
lung cancers, the choice of treatment, and the expectation for survival are
discussed.
