A rare case report of double synchronous primary neoplasm of the cervix and ovary

ABSTRACT

Synchronous primary neoplasms are defined when two or more neoplasms take place concurrently in the same patient. Double synchronous primary gynaecological neoplasms are relatively uncommon and the incidence rate ranges from 0.6% to 5.4%. Synchronous malignancies of the ovary and the uterine cervix are rare situations in which the prognosis is established not only by clinical stage but also by the histological grade of the adenomatous component. Here we have presented the case of a 60 year old patient who presented for diffuse abdominal pain and weight loss that was diagnosed with synchronous cervical and ovarian carcinoma on histopathology. This case report of double synchronous primary neoplasm of the cervix and ovary is presented here because of its rarity
