The presence of a second or third primary cancer after the initial diagnosis of malig nancy is an increasingly frequent event associated with the improved survival and monitoring of cancer patients worldwide. However, the presence of three simultaneous primary neoplasms remains a singular event. The case is presented of a 76-year-old woman with a neuroendo crine tumour of the small intestine, sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma, and a mucinous ovarian adenocarcinoma, simultaneously surgically managed. A literature review on the topic was also conducted.

Keywords : Second primary; Synchronous neoplasms; Multiple primary malignancy.
