RESUMO
Synchronous (SC) diagnosis of double primaries is not very rare in this era of advanced technology where underlying malignancies can easily be detected by the modern imaging techniques. However, the treatment of such patients is quite challenging and often a therapeutic dilemma. A 74-year-old male smoker with no significant past or family history, presented with cough, hemoptysis, and difficulty in voidance of urine within 1 month of each other, i.e., SC presentation. Abnormalities were detected on the clinical examination and radiological imaging in the lung and prostate, which confirmed to be double primary malignancies of different histology on histopathology and immunohistochemistry, i.e., adenocarcinoma prostate and squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung.
