A 68-year-old woman is described who had in a period of about 20 years three separate carcinomas (endometrial carcinoma, laryngeal carcinoma and pulmonary carcinoma). In the light of this case the problem, increasing in the last years, of multiple neoplasms development is discussed, mainly in individuals with long-term survival after successful treatment of the first neoplasm. Attention is called to a consistency observed by various authors concerning frequent coexistence of certain types of neoplasms.
