Bilateral pathology: Sometimes a patient has tumors in both chests, and it is unknown whether they are two independent tumors, or one is spread from the other, or they both come from some other cancer outside of the chest. It is rare, but you can open one chest remove that tumor, find out what it is, flip the patient over while still asleep, then do the other chest.
