dc.description.abstractA 20 year young man was referred to our institution with superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, multiple lung opacities and a mass lesion in the right upper zone (RUZ). CT-guided FNAC from the mass lesion was consistent with the diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). A lump in his left testis was detected during clinical examination. Both FNAC and excisional biopsy of the testicular mass confirmed the diagnosis of immature teratoma with choriocarcinoma, a form of non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (NSGCT). With chemotherapy all metastatic lesions of lung and SVC syndrome disappeared, and the tumour-marker levels decreased. However, the opacity in RUZ progessed to involve right recurrent laryngeal nerve at thoracic inlet, metastasized to the brain, and the patient expired after 4th cycle of chemotherapy. This case of synchronous double primary malignancies (SDPM) is being reported for its rarity.en_US
