title: Therapeutic options for synchronous malignancies of the colon.
abstract: We have reported the recent case of a patient with three synchronous colonic malignancies. A review of the literature suggests that multiple lesions of the colon, particularly ones that are benign, are not uncommon. The clinician should be aware of this association and be prepared to evaluate and manage appropriately patients with multiple colonic lesions.
