Synchronous occurrence of two or more than two primary cancers of the urinary tract is quite rare, and poses a difficult treatment challenge. Here, we present a case of synchronous renal cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder and adenocarcinoma of prostate diagnosed within a short period. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported from India and the youngest patient reported in the literature having this combination of urinary cancers.
