Involvement of the urogenital tract in patients with five or more separate malignant neoplasms. Case and review.

Abstract

Occurrence of metachronous primary malignant neoplasms (PMN) in five or more different organs and tissue of the same patient is a very rare event. The present paper reports on a female patient who experienced Hodgkin's disease of nodular sclerotic type (stage IV), carcinoma of the cervix uteri (stage I), adenocarcinoma of the rectum (Dukes A), and a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach (pT1) before she demonstrated multicentric transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter (pT3b G2-3) and of the bladder (pTa G2). Although an increased inherent predisposition of the patient to exhibit those neoplasms, similar to Lynch syndrome II, is to be discussed, her previous treatments with cyclophosphamide and external radiotherapy are likely to explain at least the occurrence of urothelial cancer. However, a report on renal pelvis and ureteral cancer induced by cyclophosphamide or irradiation is a rarity in itself.
