Abstract

The association of breast and endometrial carcinoma has been demonstrated by many studies. Most of the cases are related to the previous use of tamoxifen for the treatment of breast carcinoma. However, triple primary malignancies on the same individual are very rare. This is an unusual case regarding simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of bilateral breast carcinoma and endometrial adenocarcinoma. The clinical aspects and treatment of this unique case are presented.

Keywords
