Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report the case of a 52-year-old patient with rheumatic vascular disease (systemic sclerosis), non-small cell lung cancer, and papillary thyroid cancer. Malignant tumors have been described in 3-11% of systemic sclerosis cases. Several studies have demonstrated an increased frequency of cancer, especially lung and breast cancer, in patients with systemic sclerosis, but the association of systemic sclerosis with malignancy is controversial. To our knowledge, however, no case of both lung and thyroid cancer associated with systemic sclerosis has been reported. We present a rare case of double primary cancer in systemic sclerosis, with a literature review.
