Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer in a Very Young Age

The presence of cancer of the lungs is rare in adolescent patients, particularly in those under 20 years of age. A cancerthat begins in the lungs is most often found in older patients with a history of tobacco use. In literature cancer in youngerpatients mostly meditational origins. Hence, we found two cases of lung cancer in a 15 and 17 years old male with differentclinical presentation and history. In this paper, we hope to illustrate the unique challenges in diagnosing and treating youngpatients with lung cancer.The third case is 29 years old young man with malignant pleural mesothelioma which is a rare, invasive and often fatalneoplasm that develops in the thin layer of tissue surrounding the lungs known as the pleura. Although rare, mesotheliomasdo occur in the young; their characteristics are distinct from those of older patients.
