Synchronous breast and colon cancers are rare, particularly in the absence of family history. Synchronous tumors should always be kept in mind during the staging workup for the primary malignancy. There are no definitive guidelines for the management of synchronous tumors, thus the involvement of tumour board multidisciplinary team is essential. We present a case of a young female patient who was diagnosed with synchronous breast and colon cancer. A handful of synchronous breast and colon cancer cases have been reported and operated at intervals, but up to our knowledge this is the first case operated simultaneously in a single stage surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
