Quadruple Cancer Including Bilateral Breasts, Vater's Papilla, and Urinary Bladder: Report of a Case

1999 
We herein report a rare case of quadrule carcinoma with heterochronous bilateral breast cancer, cancer of Vater’s papilla, and cancer of the urinary bladder, which were all curatively resected. A 62-year-old woman previously underwent right and left modified radical mastectomies heterochronously. Recently, a dilatation of the lower bile duct, diagnosed as cancer of Vater’s papilla, was resected by a pancreatoduodenectomy. Hematuria during surgery led to the discovery of a solid bladder tumor. The tumor was resected by a transurethral resection. The histopathologic findings differed for all four lesions. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and to date has shown no recurrence.
