The frequency of multiple primary neoplasm is increasing as a result of the lengthening average lifetime, progress in cancer screening technique, and improved cancer therapy. Gynecologic malignancies are especially prone to associated with primary neoplasms elsewhere.

This case has different cell types of cancer in uterine cervix, thyroid and colon simultaneously. So, we report the case with a brief review of literatures.
