Simultaneous occurrence of sarcomas in a husband and wife.
The simultaneous occurrence of sarcomas in a husband and wife is documented. The wife first presented with an undifferentiated uterine sarcoma, and within six months of the onset of her disease her husband developed an anaplastic liposarcoma. This finding is considered in the light of recent evidence suggesting a possible viral etiology for human sarcomas.
