AN OPERATED CASE OF SYNCHRONOUS TRIPLE CANCER OF THE BREAST, KIDNEY AND UTERUS

Abstract

We experienced a case of synchronous triple cancer of the breast kindey and uterus, which were successfully resected.
A 48-year-old woman was seen at the hospital because of a tumor in D area of the left breast in May 1995. Incisional biopsy speciemen revealed invasive ductal carcinoma, and in June she underwent a modified radical mastectomy (Auchincloss method). Histological examination showed invasive ductal carcinoma of papillotubular type. Abdominal CT examination before mastectomy revealed a tumor in the left kidney, bilateral ovarian cysts and endometrial hyperplasia. Thus secondly total hysterectomy and resection of bilateral ovaries and left kidney were done in August. Histologically, the renal tumor was renal cell carcinoma, common type, clear cell sub types, and the tumor of the uterus was well differentiated aderiocarcinoma.
