Abstract

Synchronous primary tumor is uncommon form of gynecologic malignancy. Synchronous tumor is defined as primary tumor diagnosed simultaneously or within 6 months of one another. The prognosis of the patients with synchronous malignancies was reported to be more favorable when compared to the survival of patients harboring the same neoplasms individually. We report a case of multifocal concurrent adenocarcinoma involving salpinx, ovary, uterine cervix, and endometrium as well as omentum with a brief review of literatures.
