Abstract
A case of heterochronous triple cancer with multiple colon cancer in an 80-year-old woman is described. She underwent a right hemicolectomy and a right hepatic lobectomy for cancer of the ascending colon and liver metastasis in 1985 when she was 68 years old. Subsequently, she was operated on for right breast cancer, descending colon cancer, transverse colon cancer and gastric cancer in 1987, 1989, 1994 and 1997, respectively. Moreover her mother, brother and sister had rectal cancer. Additionally her son had brain tumor and gastric cancer. Therefore we diagnose this family as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) group.
