Abstract
-
Multiple primary tumors are defined as those cases that display primary malignant tumors of different histologic origins in one person. As the diagnostic methods have developed and the average life span has been extended, the diagnosis of multiple primary tumor has also increased. We report here on a 75-year old male patient who had synchronous triple primary cancer (Early gastric cancer, Ampulla of Vater cancer, Renal cell carcinoma) with concomitant IPMN (Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm), and the patient underwent conventional pancreaticoduodenectomy.
