A case of synchronous triple primary cancers of the kidney, colon and prostate

ABSTRACT

Synchronous cancers are defined as malignant tumors that present either simultaneously or within a six-month period of identification of the original tumor. We report an unusual case of triple primary neoplasia synchronously originating in the prostate, kidney and sigmoid colon in a 63-year-old male. Multiple primary cancers are rare, yet it is believed that the incidence of this is rising and thus making an early diagnosis and administering prompt treatment is important.
