Abstract
- Multiple primary cancer means that more than two cancers are independently developed in one individual. The incidence of multiple primary malignancy is extremely rare although the prevalence rate is increasing recently. Gynecologic malignancies are especially prone to be associated with primary neoplasms elsewhere. Most of multiple primary cancer is double primary, however triple primary cancer is rare. We experienced a case of metachronous triple primary cancer involving stomach, breast and ovary. So, we report the case with a brief review of literatures.
