Abstract
Multiple primary malignancy is called when two cancers occur independently in one individual. Multiple primary malignancy may be divided into two groups, synchronous or metachronous depending on the interval between their diagnosis. Synchronous cancer is diagnosed simultaneously or within an interval of 6 months and metachronous cancer at interval of more than 6 months. Since Billroth reported the first case of multiple primary malignancy, many cases have been reported partly owing to the advancement of diagnostic procedures and treatment modalities. The incidence of multiple primary malignancy tends to increase and it is fundamental that patients who have been treated for cancer receive a careful follow-up study. Here we report on a case of stage-IV advanced gastric cancer with stage-I renal cell carcinoma which was discovered during the staging procedure of gastric cancer. Both cancers were confirmed histologically and classified as gastric adeno-carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 19: 254 ∼258, 1999)
