title: [Ovarian metastasis in patient with endometrial carcinoma or synchronous tumors--presentation of a case].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Synchronous, independent tumors are two or more tumors which appear independently from each other at the same moment. Metastatic tumors originate by disseminating malignant cells from other organs. Synchronous, primary malignities make 1.7% of all genitals malignities. Joined endometrial and ovarian carcinomas are found in 5% of cases.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this research, we present the case of an obese woman, 37 years old, who had associated endometrial tumors of uterus and ovary, without malign cells in peritoneal dilution, positive estrogen. negative progestine and focal expression of p53 receptors present in about 10-15% tumor cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This patient underwent the classic hysterectomy with reciprocal adnexectomy. After the operation, complete radial and hemiotheraphy was performed. The patient was without recurrence of the disease 30 months after the operation. The differentiation of primary independent synchronous and metastatic tumors is important not only for the prognosis, but also for the choice of the therapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are no reliable clinical and histological criteria for diagnoses. Most cases are most frequently regarded as higher stages.
