[Synchronous primary endometrial and fallopian tube cancers: one case report].
A patient was admitted for menopause for 2 years and abnormal vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain for 2 months. Gynecological examination revealed uterine atrophy without abnormal findings in the bilateral adnexa. CA125 and CEA levels were normal. The patient underwent laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Pathological examination of the surgical specimens revealed synchronous primary cancers stage Ia in both the endometrium and the right fallopian tube. The patient then received 6 cycles of chemotherapy with oxaliplatin combined with docetaxel given intravenously and remained alive without evidence of recurrence. Synchronous primary endometrial and fallopian tube cancer is a rare clinical entity, and laparoscopic surgery with postoperative chemotherapy can be considered for stage I patients.
