Simultaneous triple primary malignancies, including bladder cancer, lymphoma, and lung cancer, in an elderly male: A case report.

ABSTRACT

Multiple primary malignancies (MPMs) are defined as the coexistence of at least two unrelated primary malignancies in a single patient, with the tumors differing in their histology. MPMs in the same patient, when present within 6 months of the primary tumor diagnosis, are considered a synchronous occurrence. In this case report, we describe a 61-year-old man who presented with three distinct tumors concurrently in 2021 noninvasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. We discuss the process of therapy and briefly review the literature. MPMs are increasing in incidence, requiring an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment.
