Cáncer primario múltiple sincrónico: A propósito de un caso

Los tumores malignos primarios multiples sincronicos son relativamente inusuales, aunque el numero de pacientes diagnosticados con tumores primarios multiples se esta incrementando, dado al desarrollo de procedimientos diagnosticos mas sofisticados, invasivos o no invasivos, y el incremento del numero de pacientes ancianos. Los canceres sincronicos al triple fueron reportados en solo el 1,2-1,9% de todos los canceres primarios. Los organos digestivos son el sitio mas comun para tumores malignos primarios multiples y tambien es el sitio usual del tumor primario. Nosotros describiremos los sintomas, diagnostico y tratamiento de un paciente masculino de 65 anos con tumores gastricos malignos multiples sincronicos asociado a un cancer de esofago.(AU) Synchronous multiple primary malignant tumors are relatively unusual, although the number of patients diagnosed with multiple primary tumors is increasing due to development of more sophisticated invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tools and an increase in the number of elderly patients. Synchronous triple cancers were reported in only 1.2-1,9% of all primary cancers. Digestives organs are the most common tumor site for multiple primary malignant tumors and also the usual site for primary tumors. We will describe the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of a 65 year-old male patient with synchronous gastric malignant tumors associated with esophageal cancer.(AU)
