Quintuple cancers: report of a case with triple cancers in the head and neck.
The incidence of multiple primary cancers is increasing. We report a case of quintuple cancers, two located in the genitourinary tract and three arising on the upper aerodigestive tract, two synchronous squamous cell carcinomas of the oral mucosa and another on the larynx. We also present a brief review of the literature.
