A case with quadruple primary cancers of head and neck.
Despite progress in techniques for early detection and treatment of cancers, cases of multiple primary cancers are apparently increasing. This paper reported quadruple primary cancers of stomach, lung, hypopharynx and maxillary sinus in a 63-year-old male. He finally died of brain metastasis and pneumonia by MRSA (Me Resistant S. aureus).
