title: [Case of carcinoid of the appendix in a patient with endometrial cancer and uterine myoma].
abstract: Reports on coexistence of the three cancers: a carcinoid of the appendix, myoma of the uterus and adenoma of the uterine cavity occurring in a female patient are exceptionally rare. Such a case may occur with a frequency of 2 every 10,000 hysterectomies. The patient was subjected to hysterectomy, appendectomy and had her obturator and iliac lymph nodes removed. Postoperative treatment comprised radiotherapy. It is estimated that on overall chance of 5 year survival is close to 50%. The overall good state of the patient, 4 years after operation, speaks for recommending this kind of treatment. The authors suggest that the carcinoid does not necessarily must be an inductor of a cancer of the endometrium and they indicate that a cancer of the endometrium is not an inductor of the carcinoid.
