“…They are most frequently encountered in male patients between the ages of 50 and 60, and histopathology is usually evaluated as squamous cell carcinomas. [3] Synchronous lung tumor can usually be evaluated as metastasis in the first evaluation. However, after a detailed histopathological evaluation, they can be diagnosed as a second primary tumor, if one or more of the following criteria is fulfilled: (i) If the synchronous lung tumor is of a different histological type; (ii) if there is a lung tumor present before an esophageal tumor; and (iii) if a solitary lesion with endobronchial spread and/or irregular borders is detected radiologically, then asynchronous primary lung tumor should be mentioned.…”

Synchronous lung and esophageal carcinomas are rare clinical entities. Curative resection with lymph node dissection is the most optimal treatment approach for both tumors. However, due to the high potential risk of postoperative complications, the right approach is to make a patient-specific decision via a multidisciplinary approach at all stages. In this article, we present three cases of synchronous lung and esophageal tumors treated with different approaches due to their specific circumstances and discuss their pre-, intra-, and postoperative stages.

Up to 30% of patients with primary thymic tumors have other malignancies, which are usually detected after thymic cancer treatment. We present the case of a 71-year-old man with synchronous lung cancer and thymoma, referred following incidental chest X-ray findings. Computed tomography showed both a lung tumor and a mediastinal tumor suggestive of thymic cancer. Concurrent left upper lobectomy with lymphadenectomy and thymectomy were performed without major perioperative complications. Pathological diagnoses were squamous cell lung carcinoma (pT3N0M0, clinical stage IIB) and type AB thymoma (Masaoka-Koga stage III). Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were administered for the lung and thymic cancers, respectively. After 4 years, no clinical or radiological recurrence was observed. Simultaneous radical treatment for lung and thymic tumors seems safe and effective.

“…Furthermore, we also selected the left thoracoscopic approach because the lesions were located on the left (left lung and left side of the lower esophagus) and a one‐sided thoracoscopic approach for both lesions was less invasive. There have been few reports concerning simultaneous thoracoscopic operations for two lesions, and there has been only one report about simultaneous, minimally invasive resection of lung and esophageal tumors (combined with thymoma) in the literature .…”

Simultaneous resections of left lung cancer and esophageal schwannoma using video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A case report

Esophageal schwannomas are extremely rare esophageal submucosal tumors. Herein, we report a case of simultaneous resection of left lung cancer and an esophageal schwannoma with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. An asymptomatic 74-year-old woman received a diagnosis of an esophageal submucosal tumor during the preoperative assessment of a left lung cancer. The esophageal submucosal tumor arose in the left wall of the lower esophagus, and the patient was diagnosed as having a schwannoma by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration. She underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the simultaneous removal of both tumors. Her postoperative course was uneventful. Thoracoscopic surgery is less invasive than thoracotomy, and this allowed the patient to undergo simultaneous operations for two tumors.
