INTRODUCTION The occurrence of multiple primary cancers is rare. Only a few cases and patient reviews of an association of triple malignancy have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION We report here a case of a 78-year-old Moroccan woman presenting initially with a synchronous double malignancy, the first in her cervix and the second in her skin. Our patient was treated with radiation therapy for ...

CONTEXT Patients diagnosed with a cancer have a life time risk of developing another de novo malignancy depending on various inherited, environmental and iatrogenic risk factors. Of late the detection of new primary has increased mainly due to refinement in both diagnostic and treatment modalities.

The incidence of malignant tumors in the primary immunodeficiency diseases is dramatically increased. Four patients with primary immunodeficiencies who developed fatal malignancies are reported. Lymphoreticular tumors and leukemia predominate in most conditions, but epithelial neoplasms are the most common tumors in selective Iga deficiency, and they comprise over one-fourth of malignancies in ...

Unfortunately the conventional planar bone scan has a very low specificity for differentiating benign from malignant lesions especially in the spinal column. In this study, we compared the specificity of SPECT imaging and convention...
