Abstract
There is an increasing incidence of multiple primary malignancies over period with advent of better screening methods and newer diagnostic techniques. The prevalence of multiple primary tumours in the same patient at intervals is estimated to be between 0.7% and 11.7% with increasing age contributing to higher occurrence. The diagnosis is often an incidental finding when evaluating primary malignancies for further management.This is a case of a 53- year-old man with an incidental diagnosis of clear cell renal carcinoma of right kidney. Patient on follow up was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia picture, subsequently confirmed on further investigations. Concomitant occurrence of multiple malignancies in same patient has been observed to have better prognosis which may be resulting from early diagnosis and management.
