Summary:This report discusses a case of a 75-year-old female patient with metachronous multicentric carcinomas in the oral cavity at 4 different sites. In this patient, there were no generally associated characteristics, such as drinking alcohol, chewing betel quid or smoking cigarettes. However, her elder sister died due to oral carcinoma. Although well-known risk factors for oral carcinoma were not detected, a previous family history was found. These findings suggest the potential for an unknown genetic anomaly associated with oral carcinoma. This is the first report to describe a female patient with oral multicentric carcinoma arising from four different sites.
