Abstract

Of 512 gynecological malignant cases treated in our department, 22 were suspected of multiple primary cancer; 15 were confirmed by clinical and pathological findings, representing an incidence of 2.9% (15/512) of all malignant cases. The most frequent sites of other cancers in patients with cervical cancer were intestinal (5/15), mammary (3/15) and urinary (2/15). Nine (60%) of 15 multiple primary cancers were noted within 12 months. Two rare combinations are also reported. There was a patient with Grawitz's tumor (kidney) and epidermoid cancer (uterine cervix) and one with leiomyosarcoma (uterine corpus) and epidermoid cancer (uterine cervix).
