Abstract
The patients with multiple malignancies are difficult to diagnose as one malignancy
may be indolent and usually diagnosed as an incidental finding, while proceeding
with staging work-up for the other malignancy. Treating such patients is even more
difficult due to the issues related to sequencing the treatment for each of them. We
report a case study where a patient was diagnosed with dual malignancies (Hodgkin’s
lymphoma and adenocarcinoma lung) and was treated for both malignancies sequentially.
The patient had five years of disease-free survival and was kept under follow-up. He
was diagnosed with metachronous malignancy, squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus,
and underwent treatment for the same condition.
