Abstract

Introduction: Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with real or potential tissue damage, which treatment is more difficult in patients with multiple and advanced cancer, influencing their functionality, mood, sleep, and quality of life.

Clinical case: 57-year-old male with metachronous triple primary malignancy associated with three types of pain with a progressive increase in intensity and requiring several lines of opioid analgesic treatment.

Conclusion: Triple primary malignancies are uncommon and mostly associated with complex pain; opioids are the most appropriate therapeutic option.
