title: A patient with 56 primary malignancies.
abstract: This very unusual case involves a 70-year-old white male who was within 50 miles of atomic bomb testing in the Mohave Desert and had 56 primary malignancies from 1946 to 1992. Major cytogenetic abnormalities sometimes found in patients with apparent genetic susceptibility for developing solid tumors are reviewed.
