    Abstract:
    A case of triple cancer involving a tubular adenocarcinoma of the stomach, a squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, and hepatocellular carcinoma of the live is reported. These three cancers had been diagnosed while the patient was alive and later were confirmed by autopsy. The esophageal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma were found almost simultaneously, 6 years after surgery for the gastric cancer. Although many cases of triple cancer have been reported, a triple cancer of this combination is very rare (0.3% of all cases of triple cancer), our case being the fifth such case in Japan.
