Having more than one cancer at the same time is known as multiple primary malignancies. Having cancers in both the stomach and kidney at the same time is even rarer, with only 45 cases reported in literature. The exact causes of such cancers occurring together are not yet known. We present a 67-year-old woman who was diagnosed with synchronous multiple primary cancers of the stomach and kidney. She presented with vomiting and abdominal pain. The diagnosis of gastric cancer was confirmed through upper endoscopy with biopsies, while biopsies of the renal tumor confirmed the diagnosis of primary kidney cancer.
