3 Cases of Synchronous Primary Carcinomas
Abstract
- Three cases of synchronous carcinomas of endometrium-fallopian tube, endometrium-cervix and endometrium-ovary are reported. Case 1 is endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma with FIGO stageIb, Grade 2 and tubal serous adenocarcinoma with FIGO stage Ib, Grade 2. Case 2 is endometrial serous carcinoma with FIGO stage Ilb and squamous cell carcinoma with FIGO stage Ial. Case 3 is endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma with FIGO stage Ia, Grade 1 and ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma with FIGO stage IIIa, Grade 2. There is much confroversy with respect to staging and management of such cases since these tumors may represent either two synchronously occuring primaries or single primary with metastases. It is suggested that when each tumor is different histological subtype the tumors may be considered as two separate primaries and treatment may be less aggressive. It may be a favorable prognosis. The authors present three cases of synchronous carcinomas with a review of literature.
