Rationale:
Concomitant malignancy of the endometrium and cervix is extremely rare.
Patient Concerns:
A 56-year-old female presented to the Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, complaining of irregular vaginal bleeding. The human papillomavirus test (type 18/45) was positive. We performed dilation and curettage; pathology revealed moderately differentiated endometrial carcinoma exhibiting squamous differentiation. The epithelium of the cervical uterus was atypical upon biopsy.
Diagnoses:
Histological and immunochemical tests confirmed a diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma concomitant with cervical adenocarcinoma.
Interventions:
She underwent laparoscopic staging surgery.
Outcomes:
The patient fully recovered with only surgery.
Lessons:
Endometrial carcinoma concomitant with cervical adenocarcinoma is very rare. It is imperative to schedule adequate examination, and to perform careful preoperative diagnosis and appropriate treatment to minimize relapse.
