Abstract
Multiple primary bronchogenic carcinomas (MPBCa) are extremely rare. T he differentiation of a MPBCa from a pulmonary metastasis due to an ex trathoracic neoplasm is sometimes difficult. We reviewed 324 pathologi cally proved primary pulmonary carcinomas and found six cases of MPBCa (1.9%). We herewith present the series and discuss the diagnosis of M PBCa.
