Abstract Background MLHI is one of six known genes responsible for DNA mismatch repair MMR whose inactivation leads to HNPCC. It is important to develop genotype-phenotype correlations for HNPCC as is being done for other hereditary cancer syndromes in order to guide surveillance and treatment strategies in the future. Case presentation We report a 47 year-old male with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer HNPCC associated with a novel germline mutation in MLHI. This patient expressed a rare and severe phenotype characterized by three synchronous primary carcinomas .
