Multiple primary malignancies in one person are considered to be a well-established phenomenon with a registered prevalence ranging from 0.73 to 11.7%. However, the synchronous category of these neoplasms, which is detected either simultaneously or within 6 months of the diagnosis of the first primary malignant tumor, is considered less common. At the same time, numerous risk factors contribute to the development of this clinical condition, such as genetic predisposition, immunosuppression, smoking, chemotherapy and ionizing radiation, however, the exact pathophysiology of this process remains completely unclear to date. In this brief literature review, an attempt is made to assess the probability of a combination of primary breast cancer with the simultaneous development of primary brain tumors.
