Abstract

Autopsy protocols [5680]from the Black Forest area of West Germany were reviewed and 2005 (35.3%) malignant neoplasms were found. Among them there were 93 cases (4.9%) with 186 (9.3%) multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMT) arising in 2 different organs of organ systems. Whereas single primary malignant neoplasms of the liver constituted only 3.4% of the total malignant neoplasms, the liver was involved in 11% cases of MPMT. Data was also compiled on the involvement of other organs with MPMT.
