Abstract

Multiple primary cancer is defined as two or more malignant neoplasms in a single individual. The incidence of multiple primary cancer is likely to increase due to earlier and accurate diagnosis and prolonged life span. Above all, the incidence of quintuple primary malignant tumors is reportedly extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of 65-year-old who had quintuple primary cancers of the liver, rectum, nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx.

여러 가지 원인으로 인해 다발성 원발암은 증가하고 있으며, 발생 가능성을 염두에 두고 필요한 선별 검사를 시행하여야 적절한 치료가 이루어질 수 있다. 저자들은 국내에서는 보고된 적이 없고 전세계적으로도 희귀한 5중 원발암의 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
