Abstract: 

The incidence of multiple primary malignancies has increased dramatically in recent decades. Herein we report synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) in a 52-year-old male patient. It is advisable to consider SMPLC as a local pathology and to perform radical surgical treatment, which contributes to a favorable outcome.
