Synchronous Primary Tumors: About 2 Cases

Abstract

The objective is to present two clinical cases of patients with synchronous primary tumors. CLINICAL CASES: The first case is an 80-year-old male patient, with squamous cell carcinoma in the right fronto-temporo-parietal region, who underwent surgery and in his control at 6 months, presented carcinoma of squamous cell carcinoma of right arm and Merkel cell carcinoma of the left forearm. The second case was a 69-year-old female patient with squamous cell carcinoma that required right hemiglossectomy plus supraomohyoid lymph node dissection. During follow-up, she presented a tumor in the root of the mesentery involving the distal ileum, which reported neuroendocrine carcinoma. Both patients evolved satisfactorily. Synchronous neoplasms represent infrequent neoplasms and although they are not among the top 5 causes of cancer worldwide, lifelong follow-up should be carried out to establish strategies that allow early diagnosis, avoid progression and improve free survival of ill.
