Abstract

Pulmonary carcinoid and pulmonary lymphoma are both rare cancers and are seldom seen together. Cases have been reported of their coexistence in the gastrointestinal tract, but our literature searches only found a single case of their coexistence in the lung. We discuss our case as well as the literature to try to find a connection and explanation for this occurrence.<br /> (Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Inc.
