Abstract
- Multiple primary cancer means that more than two cancers are independently developed in one individual. The frequency of multiple primary neoplasm is increasing as a result of the lengthening average lifetime, progress in cancer screening technique, and improved cancer therapy. Gynecologic malignancies are especially prone to associated with primary neoplasms elsewhere. The frequency of multiple primary cancers was significantly higher in patients with uterine corpus cancer than in those suffering from cervical cancer. This case has different cell types of cancer in uterine cervix, thyroid and colon simultaneously. So, we report the case with a brief review of literatures.
