Abstract

Synchronous primary malignancy (SPM) is rare. We herein present a case of gastric carcinoma (GC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to highlight the fact that the occurrence of RCC as a synchronous tumor along with GC is rare and that a high index of suspicion of SPM should be considered before declaring it as a metastasis. A 60-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and vomiting for 4 months, and a mass was incidentally found in the lumbar region. The patient was diagnosed with SPM of the GC and RCC. Chemotherapy was given, followed by total gastrectomy; radical nephrectomy was performed. The patient is currently on follow-up. Complete history taking and thorough physical examination of patients with malignancy is instrumental in ruling out metastasis and other synchronous lesions, especially in GC. Synchronous malignancies should be treated with the multidisciplinary team, as there is no consensus in the treatment protocol

双重困扰-同步原发恶性肿瘤1例报告

同步原发恶性肿瘤(SPM)是罕见的。我们在此报告一个胃癌(GC)和肾细胞癌(RCC)的病例，以强调RCC作为胃癌同时发生的事实是罕见的，在宣布其为转移之前应考虑高怀疑SPM的指数。60岁男性，腹痛呕吐4个月，并偶见腰部肿块。患者被诊断为GC和RCC的SPM。化疗后行全胃切除术;行根治性肾切除术。该患者目前正在接受随访。对恶性肿瘤患者进行完整的病史和彻底的体格检查有助于排除转移和其他同步病变，尤其是胃癌。同步恶性肿瘤应与多学科团队一起治疗，因为在治疗方案中没有共识
