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. *Correspondence to: Magdalena Knetki-Wróblewska, Lung & Thoracic Tumors Department, The Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Centre & Institute of Oncology, Roentgena 5, 02-781 Warsaw, Poland, Tel: +48-22-546-20-00; E-mail: magdalena.knetki@coi.pl
