Synchronous adenoacanthoma of the ovary and endometrial adenocarcinoma. Report of two cases.
Two cases of synchronous endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and ovary are here presented. The clinical aspects and the pathologic findings support an autochthonous origin of these neoplasias. The existence of the extended Müllerian system can explain such a possibility. The recognition of this possible association is really important because it implies a different therapeutic approach.
