An exceedingly rare simultaneous incidental occurrence of synchronous primary malignancies; Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma in a male - A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Synchronous malignancies are defined as the emergence of one or more tumors which either occur simultaneously or within 6 months of each other. Populations older than 50 years of age are the most vulnerable. Documented prevalence rates of synchronous neoplasia are 4.5-11.7 %. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first documented case of synchronous primary incidental occurrence of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) and Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) in a Middle Eastern male. This type of co-occurrence must be borne in mind because such neoplastic occurrence is potentially fatal. Documentation is essential to raise awareness and to decrease the resultant morbidity and mortality.
