Triple Synchronous Primary Malignancies of the Colon, Endometrium and Kidney in a Patient with Lynch Syndrome treated via minimally invasive techniques

We describe a case of a 60-year-old woman undergoing surgery for known endometrial carcinoma. The patient also had a renal mass that was identified as clear cell renal cell carcinoma and an additional lesion in the colon that was a mucinous adenocarcinoma. Further genetic testing of the patient revealed a deleterious MSH6 mutation suggestive of Lynch syndrome. The patient had all tumors addressed by minimally invasive techniques at the same operative intervention. It is important to consider hereditary cancer syndromes in women with a strong family history presenting with synchronous multiple primary malignancies. A multidisciplinary surgical approach is key to best practices and optimal patient outcomes
