Abstract:
Multiple primary cancers are defined as more than two primary cancers occuring in one patient, synchronously or metachronously. Detection of multiple primary cancers have been increased gradually, because of the improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Nevertheless, synchronous triple primary cancers have been regarded as rare disease. Here, we report a case of synchronous triple primary cancers occurring in the stomach, colon and liver. The patient was a 68-year-old man who complained intermittent dyspepsia. All of these cancers were diagnosed by upper and lower GI endoscopy, and abdominal CT scans in early stages. The patient was managed successfully with endoscopic submucosal dissection and radiofrequency ablation.
