Abstract

Benign lung tumors are rare and it is reported in literature that metachronous or synchronous malignities can accompany benign tumors. In this study, the medical records of patients who underwent operations due to benign tumors and were found to have accompanying malignancies in our clinics between 1990 and 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.
