title: Quadruple cancer in a single patient: a report of four cases.
abstract: Multiple primary neoplasia was once considered a rare curiosity but is now a well recognized phenomenon. Only a few papers have been published in the English literature with regard to occurrence of four or more primary malignancies in a single patient. We report four cases of quadruple cancer; a review of the literature about this topic is discussed.
