ABSTRACT

Introduction: Synchronous cancer in gynecology is a rare entity, of uncertain etiology, consisting of different malignant lesions affecting two or more areas of the female reproductive system, at the same time or within a period of less than 1 year, the combination of ovary and endometrium being the most frequent.
Objective: to report a case of synchronous gynecological cancer, malignant granulosa cell tumor of the ovary and squamous cell carcinoma of the vaginal vault and in view of the infrequency of the case to review the literature.
Clinical case: 47 years old patient, who underwent total hysterectomy for uterine myomatosis plus right oophorectomy for showing ovarian tumor during surgery, the histopathological report reported malignant granulosa cell tumor, abdomino-pelvic tomography was requested, which reported a large pelvic space occupying lesion (LOE) with compression of the bladder roof. She came to our office for the first time due to abundant genital bleeding, weight loss and involuntary urine loss, physical examination revealed a friable lesion in the vaginal vault of 3cm, surgical intervention was decided where a left oophorectomy and tumor pruning were performed, Biopsy and immunohistochemistry of lesions with report of malignant granulosa cell tumor of adult granulosa cells in the ovary and squamous cell carcinoma in the vaginal vault, referred to medical oncology who applied chemotherapy and currently the patient is without recurrence of the disease and in oncological follow-up.
Conclusion: Synchronous cancer is an infrequent pathology, where much information remains to be investigated to better understand this entity. We present the first reported case of synchronous ovarian granulosa cell tumor cancer with vaginal vault cancer. Fortunately our patient 24 months after completing her treatment shows no signs of recurrence of the disease and will be followed up according to the established oncologic protocols.
