Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Multiple primary malignancies can arise in the large bowel as simultaneous, synchronous and/or metachronous. All tumors must be distant from each other to be considered as primitive, none have to be the result of metastasis from other tumors.
CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 71 years old woman who was admitted to our hospital for a 3-year history of not well defined abdominal pain and hematochezia. The patient had no family history of cancer. Colonoscopy revealed 4 simultaneous tumors located at 4 and 20 cm from the ileocecal valve and at 23,2 and 19 cm from the anal verge. At CT scan there were no distant metastases, neither lymphonode node involvement. A quadruple adenocarcinoma of the colon was confirmed by the pathologist. Patient was operated on total colectomy with ileo-rectal anastomosis.
DISCUSSION: Two or three synchronous tumors of the colon have been already described in literature in about 1,8-14% of cases, but the presence of four simultaneous cancers, as in our case, is very interesting and unusual without an history of FAP or familiar cancer.
CONCLUSION: Comprehensive preoperative study, extensive intraoperative exploration, and radical resection can improve surgical results and survival rate, remaining unquestioned the cause.
