Synchronous multiple primary neoplasms of the upper female genital tract

Clinicopathologic and survival analyses of synchronous primary endometrial and epithelial ovarian cancers

“…The 5‐year DFS rate is found to be 65% for our study group, which implies that the prognosis is better for synchronous ovary and endometrial cancer than metastatic ovarian and endometrial cancers . We think that this finding is especially related to the diagnosis of synchronous ovary and endometrial cancers in early stages.…”

“…At our institution, the Scully criteria are used to determine synchronous ovarian‐endometrial cancers by gynecologic pathologists. Several studies have shown that prognosis of synchronous primary ovarian and endometrial cancers are better than the metastatic disease of these tumors . Patients with these tumors were generally found at an early stage and had better survival …”

“…Several studies have shown that prognosis of synchronous primary ovarian and endometrial cancers are better than the metastatic disease of these tumors. 3,5,6 Patients with these tumors were generally found at an early stage and had better survival. 7 The purpose of our retrospective study, which is conducted on patients diagnosed with synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancer, is to determine the effects of the clinical and histopathologic characteristics on the prognosis of synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancer.…”

A Rare Case of Carcinoma of Ovary with Carcinoma of Cervix

“…Primary malignancies of the genital tract seem to occur synchronously more often than one would expect as it was seen in our case [5]. The prognoses in both the groups differs; those with synchronous malignancies have better prognosis when compared to metastatic lesions of individual tumors [6,7]. While the etiology of this phenomenon remains unclear, it has been postulated that embryologically similar tissues of the female genital tract, when simultaneously subjected to carcinogen may develop synchronous neoplasm.…”

Synchronous Primary Malignancy of Endometrium and Cervix

“…The different histopathological picture and occurrence of low histological grade and early stage give an indication that they may have multifocal origin rather than metastasis as in our case. 2 The occurrence of synchronous primary tumours of the female genital system is a rare phenomenon with an incidence of only 0.7 to 1.8%. 3 Most frequent amongst them are concurrent presence of endometrial and ovarian malignancies.…”
