Synchronous Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer: Case Report

Abstract

Asynchronous primary tumor of the endometrium and ovary is a rare and uncommon condition reported in 5% to 10% of endometrial or ovarian cancers. Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most common histology found in the cases. We report the case of a nulligesta with a synchronous endometrioid ovarian cancer and an endometroid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. To know the difference between a synchronous cancer from a metastatic cancer is important to offer an optimal treatment and therefore a better prognosis to the patient. We present a case of a patient with this condition and a literature review.
