Synchronous Endometrial and Ovarian Cancers: One Case Report

Abstract

Synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancer (SEOC) is a rare instance butit accounts for 50–70% of all synchronous female genital tract tumors We report a case of a woman that was diagnosed with SEOC and underwent surgical staging. Patients with synchronous cancers have better prognosis than those with single disseminated cancer. Their detection in a relatively early stage suggests diagnosis may be facilitated by early symptoms from the endometrial carcinoma, and that these lesions are biologically of relatively low grade. The first symptoms reported by our patients and the course of the disease were concordant with data from the literature.
