An extraordinary case of four primary tumors in the same patient, involving the uterine cervix, lung, skin, and rectum
Four primary cancers in one patient are fairly rare. Here we present a case of four primary tumors in such a patient.

A successful resection of two synchronous and two metachronous cancers, which has never previously been reported in this specific combination, is described.
