Synchronous quadruple multiple primary cancers of the tongue, bilateral breasts, and kidney in a female patient with a disease-free survival time of more than 5 years: a case report

Conclusions: In the present case, the kidney cancer could not be detected by 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography but could be detected by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. To avoid overlooking multiple primary cancers of the kidney, we suggest that contrast-enhanced computed tomography should cover a region extending to the inferior margin of the kidney, rather than only to the liver, in patients with oral cavity cancer.
