Abstract

Context: Hysterectomy is one of the most common gynecological surgeries performed. Neoplastic lesions form an important indication for hysterectomy. Histopathological analysis of these specimens adds valuable information and at times reveals multiple neoplasms affecting the female genital tract. Aims: To determine the prevalence of multiple primary neoplasms in the hysterectomy specimens Methods and Material: All the hysterectomy specimens with or without adnexectomy in a 2 year period were studied for their histomorphological features and multiple neoplasms thus noted were recorded. Results: A total of 510 hysterectomies were analyzed. Twenty one cases had multiple neoplastic and/or pre neoplastic lesions in the female genital tract. Conclusions: Though multiple neoplasms occurring in the female genital tract are rare, longer follow up in cancer survivors will throw more light on the prevalence and prognosis of such lesions.
