A 51-year-old Burmese lady without a family history of malignancies or known genetic predisposition developed three primary malignancies involving breast, colon and uterus within two years.

A CECT abdomen and pelvis was performed and proceeded with emergency right hemicolectomy for obstructed hepatic flexure tumour.
