The coexistence of synchronous triple carcinomas in a single patient is a rare occurrence. Only a few cases and patient reviews of triple malignancy have been reported in literature. We report here a case of 76year old male that details the existence of squamous cell carcinoma of lip, basal cell carcinoma of left ala of nose and basaloid variant of squamous cell carcinoma of chest wall. Existence of multiple primary carcinomas can be considered as a rare occurrence but due to improved effectiveness in therapies and diagnostic tools, the situation has become more frequent in recent times.
