Abstract

Ovarian and breast cancer are the most common causes of gynaecological cancer-related deaths. We hereby present the case of a patient treated in our surgical unit which was diagnosed with synchronous neoplasia of the ovary and breast with an uncommon form of clinical presentation. The particularities of this case are the presence of an ulcerated cutaneous metastasis from the ovarian cancer in the right hypochondrium that was diagnosed simultaneously and a synchronous breast neoplasia.
