Synchronous primary malignant neoplasms of colon and bladder

Indian J Gastroenterol. 2001 Jul-Aug;20(4):156-7.

Abstract

Extracolonic and synchronous malignancies are rare in colorectal carcinomas. We report a 68-year-old man with complaints of rectal bleeding and hematuria. Endoscopic biopsies revealed synchronous adenocarcinoma of the colon and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The patient was started on chemotherapy, and is alive (with disease) nine months later.
