Multiple primary cancers are defined as multiple occurrences of malignant neoplasm of different histologic origin in the same individual. The synchronous occurrence of triple distinct cancers in the same patient is very rare. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of synchronous triple primary cancers of the rectum, thyroid gland and uterine cervix; all were detected during the work-up for hematochezia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such report in the medical literature.

Mesotherapy and anti-obesity medications are gradually gaining worldwide popularity for purposes of body contouring and weight loss. Their adverse effects are various, but there is a tendency to disregard them. Ischemic colitis is one of the most common diseases associated with non-obstructive blood vessel disorders. However, there have been no case reports about the adverse effects resulting from mesotherapy only or in combination with anti-obesity medications. We report on an interesting case of ischemic colitis after mesotherapy combined with anti-obesity medications in a 39-year-old female who had no risk factors.
