Background: Synchronous cancer is the rare occurrence when a second primary cancer is diagnosed within 6 months of the first primary cancer and the most common anatomical location for a synchronous tumour is in the digestive system. If a patient with breast cancer is noted to have a lung lesion, we have to exclude a lung metastasis, as its’ the second most common site of breast cancer metastasis after bony metastases.
