          Abstract

          A 68-year-old female patient diagnosed with lung cancer in the left upper lobe with associated mediastinal adenopathy. The cancer was pathologically diagnosed as stage pT1bN0 typical carcinoid. Investigation of the mediastinal lymph nodes revealed an isolated metastatic non-small cell squamous cell carcinoma (NSCLC). A primary NSCLC was not found. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of both synchronous tumors, with no residual disease or recurrence. This case not only expands the histological field of combined neuroendocrine tumors, but it also highlights the importance of distinguishing various tumor types for disease treatment and prognosis.

          Predictors of outcomes after surgical treatment of synchronous primary lung cancers.

          David J. Finley, Akihiko Yoshizawa, William Travis … (2010)
          Distinguishing synchronous primary lung cancers (SPLCs) from advanced disease is important because prognosis and treatments are very different and a surgical approach to SPLC may result in survival similar to solitary cancers. Determining this distinction with certainty, however, is challenging. We reviewed our experience with surgical resection of presumed SPLC to analyze outcomes and identify factors associated with prolonged survival.

              Combined atypical carcinoid tumour and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.

              Mikio Okazaki, Yoshifumi Sano, Yoshiko Soga … (2015)
              A 71-year-old man diagnosed with lung cancer in the right lower lobe with invasion to the middle lobe underwent right lower and middle lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection. The cancer was pathologically diagnosed as stage IIB (pT3N0M0) with combined squamous cell carcinoma and an atypical carcinoid tumour. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a combined atypical carcinoid tumour and non-small cell lung cancer. This case further expands the histological spectrum of combined neuroendocrine tumours.
