[Multiple primary neoplasms in gynecology].

Abstract

7054 malign neoplasms were observed at the I. Univ.-Frauenklinik of Vienna in the years 1950-1969. 142 cases were multiple primary neoplasms, i.e. 2.01%. In 51 cases the double neoplasms were situated in the genital region (local multiplicity), in 91 cases was there a separated multiplicity with the cancer of the breast dominating. A third of the multiple neoplasms was synchronous, the two other thirds were metachromatic with the peak in the first years after the diagnosis of the gynecologic neoplasm. 5 cases of triple neoplasms were specified.
