title: Bilateral and synchronous squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in a patient with uterus didelphys.
abstract: Reported herein is the case of a 30-year-old white woman who had a congenitally double uterus with two cervixes (uterus didelphys). Each cervix was diffusely involved by squamous cell carcinoma in situ that had progressed to a microinvasive stage of the same depth (0.8 mm) on each side. This coincidence was the more remarkable because it had taken place synchronously. A transmissible coital factor of a viral nature, ie, human papillomavirus infection, was suggested by the presence of koilocytotic atypia in both uterine cervixes.
