Abstract

The simultaneous (synchronous) detection of 3 primary tumors is rare in clinical practice. Recognizing and differentiating metastatic malignancies have always been challenging for clinicians and pathologists; however, treatment outcomes and prognoses highly depend on this recognition. Here, we used immunostaining and a new approach that, to our knowledge, few people know about based on an understanding of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs), phenotypic plasticity, and the tumor microenvironment to reach a final diagnosis of multiple primary neoplasms.
