Synchronous Gastric and Colon Carcinomas: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Abstract
As is known synchronous gastric and colon cancer is rare. Here we report the synchronous two malignancies in form of gastric adenocarcinoma and colon adenocarcinomas. A 74 year old female patient was admitted to our department with epigastric pain and heartburn. We performed gastroscopy and saw gastric malignant mass. Despite the lack of patient complaints we did colonoscopy and detected malignant synchronous mass and colonic polip in right colon. We suggest, not to forget in older patient there will be another synchronous malignancies at other gastrointestinal tractus
