Risk factors for squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the head and neck (HN) and oesophagus are similar. As such, synchronous primary tumors in these areas are not entirely uncommon. Definitive chemoradiation (CRT) is standard care for locally advanced HNSCC and is a preferred option for inoperable oesophageal SCC. Simultaneous treatment of both primaries with CRT can present technical challenges. We report a case of synchronous oropharyngeal and oesophageal SCC primary tumors treated simultaneously with definitive chemoradiotherapy.
