Five primary cancers in one patient.
We report a 62-year-old man with five primary cancers. He underwent nephrectomy for a right renal cell carcinoma and removal of malignant meningioma and 6 years later was diagnosed as having a rectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. He died of respiratory failure and a gastric cancer was found at autopsy.
