Abstract

Synchronous cancers involving both endometrium and ovary in the female genital tract is a well-recognized phenomenon. However, most of them are metastatic lesions arising from one organ and simultaneous primary cancer occurring in both organs is relatively rare. We report a case with dual primary cancer occurring in both ovaries and endometrium with three different histologies. Recently, a 46-year-old women presented with vaginal bleeding was found to have FIGO stage IC clear cell carcinoma of the left ovary, stage IA borderline mucinous cystadoma of the right ovary, and stage IB endometrial carcinoma of endometrioid type. We present this case with a brief review of references.
