Abstract

Synchronous malignancies of genital tract are rare. Case report We report a case of carcinoma ovary with incidentally diagnosed carcinoma cervix. The patient had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-opherectomy with omentectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection for a right ovarian tumor which was reported as borderline malignancy on frozen section. On histological examination the ovarian malignancy was diagnosed as borderline papillary serous carcinoma. The cervix section showed in situ squamous cell carcinoma. Pelvic lymph nodes and omentum were free of tumor. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient has no signs of malignancy on follow up till date. Conclusion Synchronous malignancies are associated with better prognosis with surgical resection being the treatment of choice. Since synchronous malignancies are rare it has to be reported.
