[Clinical aspects of a synchronous cancerous lesion of the corpus uteri and the ovaries].

The results of a clinical study of 42 cases of synchronous endometrial and ovarian tumors are discussed. Clinical manifestations of synchronous cancer were found to be similar to those of endometrial carcinoma. Postmenopausal patients showed a favorable course of tumor process, thus suggesting its primary multiple origin, slightly more frequently than reproductive or climacteric females. As far as the findings on the distant end results went, multiple lesions should not be regarded as an indisputably unfavorable factor of prognosis.
