Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Recently, case reports of triple primary carcinomas have been increasing. But curatively resected simultaneous triple primary cacinomas are still rare. Here, a case of 58-year-old woman with simultaneous triple primary carcinomas with severe valvular disease is reported. The patient who complained of epigastralgia and melena was diagnosed by further examinations as having simultaneous triple primary carcinomas (adenocarcinoma of stomach, descending colon and uterine corpus). She was complicated with severe valvular disease as stage III according to the New York Heart Association. Radical operation for triple primary carcinoma was simultaneously performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Cases of triple primary carcinomas in Japan were reviewed and analyzed as to age, symptoms, gross findings and treatment. Careful pre-and per-operative evaluation for cancer is necessary, bearing in mind the possibility of multiple lesions.
