Abstract

Multiple primary lung cancers are uncommon. These are divided as synchronous and metachronous. Synchronous primary lung cancers (SPLCs) are usually described on autopsy. The availability of rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) in our case helped us reach early diagnosis. We present a rare case of SPLC having the combination of adenocarcinoma and oncocytoma. To the best of our knowledge, this rare duet has never been previously described in literature.
