[A case of synchronous triple primary cancers of prostate, kidney and bladder].
A case of synchronous triple primary cancer occurring in the prostate, kidney and urinary bladder is reported. A 74-year-old man had been complaining of macroscopic hematuria, dysuria and residual sensation of urine since January 1994. Pathological analysis of prostate revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in March, 1994. Bone and Ga scintigraphy gave no evidence of metastasis. Computerized tomography (CT) revealed irregularity of a part of the margin of prostate (T2N0M0) and enhanced mass with a diameter of 3 cm localized at the hilus of the right kidney. Excretory urography showed a shadow defect in the right pelvis and elevation of the bladder base. In spite of the appearance of class 5 in urine cytology, no tumor was detected in the bladder by cystoscopy. Angiography confirmed the presence of a hypervascular tumor in the right kidney. He underwent right-sided nephroureterectomy in April, 1994, because not only right pelvic tumor but also right renal tumor was suspected. Histological examination of the renal tumor revealed clear cell carcinoma (T2N0M0). Then, he did not visit our hospital for 8 months. In January, 1995 a papillary broadbase tumor was found near the bladder neck by cystoscopy. Transurethral resection of the tumor (TUR-Bt) was performed in February, 1995. Pathological analysis of the tumor revealed TCC G1 pT1 (T1N0M0).
