    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Necrotizing fasciitis is exceptionally rare in gynecologic literature.
    • This report details two cases observed over 24 years.

    Observation:

    • Both patients had undergone major surgery for uterine cancers (stromal sarcoma, mixed mesodermal tumor).
    • Classic signs of necrotizing fasciitis, including skin undermining and extensive tissue necrosis, were present.
    • Both patients developed gangrene and subsequently died.

    Findings:

    • The pathognomonic signs of necrotizing fasciitis were observed in both cases.
    • The extreme rarity highlights challenges in diagnosis and management.
    • Potential immunologic reaction or contaminant organisms were considered for mixed mesodermal tumor cases.

    Implications:

    • Immediate surgical debridement is critical upon recognition of necrotizing fasciitis.
    • The poor prognosis underscores the need for heightened awareness and rapid intervention in gynecologic oncology patients.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis, particularly in relation to gynecologic malignancies, is warranted.
