Multiple tumors, as defined by the criteria of the IARC (International Agency of Research on Cancer), must have an origin in different organs, must have a different histological structure, and must not be a metastasis from another primary tumour. According to the time of development, multiple tumors are divided into synchroneous or asynchronous. The most frequent multiple tumors are duplicate, triplicity is rare, and development of more then three tumors in a single patient is very rare. We present a case report of a patient with three synchronous urological malignancies, prostate adenocarcinoma, renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney and urothelial bladder carcinoma.
