Abstract
Background: Synchronous primary malignancies of the female genital tract are uncommon. Synchronous ovarian and cervical malignancies with different histopathology are rarer still. Case: A 55-year-old woman with poor general condition presented with ascites and post-menopausal bleeding. She was diagnosed to have ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, clinical stage III and cervical squamous cell carcinoma, clinical stage III B. She deteriorated rapidly after a cycle of chemotherapy and expired after nineteen days. Conclusion: Synchronous genital malignancies cause more clinical problems as compared to singly occurring ones. Hence such cases tend to be detected at an earlier stage. However, the prognosis is determined not only by clinical staging but also by histological grade of the adenomatous component. Incidence of multiple synchronous malignancies may be expected to increase in view of increased life expectancy.
