Implication

Case report reveals advanced synchronous ovarian and cervical primary carcinomas in a young female, highlighting the need for prompt surgical debulking and potential immunotherapy.

Key Points

  • To document a rare clinical presentation of synchronous primary cervical and ovarian cancers and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
  • Clinical and diagnostic workup of a 35-year-old female presenting with lower back pain and dysuria, including transvaginal ultrasound and PET imaging.
  • Cervical cold knife conization and endometrial curettage followed by exploratory laparotomy with total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, lymphadenectomy, and bowel resection.
  • Histopathology confirmed two independent primary malignancies: cervical adenosquamous carcinoma and bilateral ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma.
  • Intraoperative and imaging findings demonstrated widespread metastatic disease, including peritoneal carcinomatosis and lymphovascular invasion.
