Synchronous Serous Carcinoma of Ovary and Clear Cell Carcinoma of Kidney

Synchronous dual primary cancers have been reported in the past while majority of these are sporadic only few are hereditary. There have been a couple of case reports of synchronous primary ovarian cancer and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the first reported case was in 1988 by Myoga et al. Currently there is no clear explanation about synchronous RCC and ovarian cancers but steroid hormones & its receptors are thought to play a role. It is important for the clinician and the pathologist to rule out the possibility of metastatic deposits for the better management of the disease. Here we report a rare presentation of dual synchronous primaries of Clear cell RCC and High grade serous ovarian cancer in a 48year old female.
