Synchronous occurrence of triple distinct malignant tumors in the same patient is very rare. We report a unique case of a triple cancer occurring in a 70-year-old Korean woman with synchronous signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach, renal cell carcinoma of the conventional type of the left kidney, and invasive ductal adenocarcinoma and intraductal papillary carcinoma of the pancreas. All three cancers were successfully resected simultaneously by total gastrectomy, nephrectomy, and partial pancreatectomy with corresponding lymphadenectomies. This patient tolerated these surgical procedures well and led a normal healthy life during the 18 months of follow-up. In summary, a successful resection of synchronous triple cancers which has never been previously reported in such combination, is described.
