Second primary cancer (SPC) is a term used to describe a new primary cancer occurring in patients who had formerly been diagnosed with tumor. Even though SPCs appear to be related to primary cancers, they are actually entities that have arisen independently and not as a result of recurrence. This report is of the first case in literature of a patient hospitalized for the surgical treatment of 3 synchronous Head and Neck Cancers. A 66-year-old male was admitted to our hospital (Ospedale Degli Infermi—Biella, Italy) complaining about pharyngodynia. Three different lesions were identified through endoscopic examination and narrow band imaging: the first one on left tonsil, the second one on epiglottis, and the third one on right aryepiglottic fold. The case was subject to a multidisciplinary team analysis due to its complexity, then the surgery consisted in (1) CO2 laser left tonsillectomy, associated with (2) CO2 laser excision of the lesion on epiglottis free edge, and (3) CO2 laser excision of right aryepiglottic fold lesion. Synchronous tumors are among the most defiant challenges for surgeons since no international guideline specifies differentiated strategies to be adopted in patients affected by synchronous Head and Neck Cancers, therefore surgical planning must be tailored differently from patient to patient, and many unsolved questions still concern clinical treatments to be adopted.

Objective: Head and neck cancer often accompany a synchronous secondary primary lesion in the digestive tract. The aim of this study was to compare detection rates between positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (G-fiber) or colonoscopy (C-fiber) in the initial staging and to analyze risk factors for premalignant, malignant, and total synchronous secondary primary lesions. Methods: A total of 739 patients with head and neck cancer who underwent PET-CT, G-fiber, or C-fiber were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Positron emission tomography–CT did not definitely detect any premalignant synchronous secondary primary lesions (0 [0%] of 739) but definitely detected 10 malignant synchronous secondary primary lesions (10 [1.35%] of 739). Esophagogastroduodenoscopy or C-fiber detected all 20 premalignant synchronous secondary primary lesions (20 [2.71%] of 739) and all 37 malignant synchronous secondary primary lesions (37 [5.00%] of 739). The patients with nasopharynx cancer tended to have premalignant synchronous secondary primary lesions (odds ratio [OR]: 3.793; 95% CI: 1.414-10.171; P = .008). Those with distant metastasis tended to have premalignant (OR: 4.743; 95% CI: 1.508-14.916; P = .009), malignant (OR: 3.803; 95% CI: 1.486-9.731; P = .005), and total synchronous secondary primary lesions (OR: 2.753; 95% CI: 1.159-6.538; P = .022). Conclusions: Premalignant or malignant synchronous secondary primary lesions that were not definitely detected by PET-CT could be found in the endoscopic examination.
