Multiple primary neoplasms (MPN) is described as multiple tumors in a single patiend so that each of the tumors must present a definite picture of malignancy, each must be distinct, and the probability of one being the metastasis of the other must be excluded. As a result of longevity and of a parallel increase in survival after specific treatment for malignancy, the number of multiple primary malignancies has continued to grow. In this article, we aimed to present a case of synchroneous colon adenocarcinoma, chondrosarcoma and renal cell carcinoma within one patient.
