Human papillomavirus is a possible risk factor in the development of squamous cell carcinoma. We report the case of a 21-year-old African-American male who presented with coughing and shortness of breath. He had been treated with multiple cauteries and ablations for problems associated with HPV since childhood. A CT scan revealed bilateral cavitary lung lesions. These lesions were resected through staged thoracotomies and revealed synchronous squamous cell carcinomas.
