description Synchronous carcinoma is defined as multiple malignant lesions presented in a single patient at initial diagnosis. Synchronous colorectal adenocarcinoma is a rare entity that has been increasingly recognized, likely due to the significant improvement in imaging and diagnostic tools. Making the appropriate diagnosis of synchronous colorectal cancer has a major role in the management's determination and treatment plans. Herein, we are reporting a case of a 73-year-old gentleman who was diagnosed with synchronous colorectal adenocarcinoma with two masses in the left colon and was treated initially surgically followed by chemotherapy.
