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.
