Abstract
Screening mammography of a woman with no symptoms led to the diagnosis of c arcinoma of the breast, an intracranial meningioma, and adamantinoma of the right tibia. This is the first reported case of three synchronous primary tumors of different tissue origins. Biopsy is essential for diagnosing or e xcluding primary tumor(s) in cases of suspected metastases occurring at a l imited number of sites.
