Abstract :
The cooccurrence of more than one oncologic illness in a patient can present a diagnostic challenge. Here we report an unusualcase of concomitant existence of multiple myeloma, breast cancer, and monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis on initial presentation. Thechallenge was to accurately diagnose each disease and stage in order to maximize the therapeutic regimen to achieve cure/remission.Successful management of the patient and increased life expectancy can be achieved by multidisciplinary management and patient-oriented approach in multiple primary malignant synchronous tumors
