Synchronous tumours of two different histological type are not uncommon in the female genital tract. But triple synchronous tumours of three or more different histological types is extremely rare. We describe a case of a 48-year-old female patient who presented with cervical growth and bilateral ovarian masses. Pathological evaluation of the surgical specimen revealed synchronous cervical squamous cell carcinoma, right ovarian dermoid cyst and left ovarian benign Brenner tumour. The patient was treated as per the carcinoma cervix protocol and is disease free at 1-year follow-up. To our knowledge this is the first report of such an occurrence. This occurrence cannot be related to any known hereditary syndromes, hence may be considered a chance association. Although rare, awareness of such an occurrence is important for the surgeon, radiologist and the surgical pathologist for proper diagnosis and management.

Cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the dermoid cyst of the ovaries are rare in comparison with other pathological processes of the ovaries, which is why they are of great interest not only to medical scientists who face such cases, but also for targeted medical cooperation. We review the literature, publications and one clinical case so that specialists who come into contact with it have a clearer idea of ​​the course of the disease, its morphological aspects, which in the future will facilitate the diagnosis. The problem of this pathology is an example of discussion, and therefore the number of scientific works of our foreign colleagues is devoted to it.

Background: Malignant transformation in a dermoid cyst of the ovary is a rare complication, occurring in only 1-2% of cases, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common type. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult because of the lack of specific symptoms and signs to suggest malignancy. The prognosis is generally poor when disease has spread beyond the ovary.   Objective: This study was conducted to review experience with this disease and describe the current treatment modality. Methods: It was identified 4 women with this diagnosis during 2013-2018. This is a descriptive study, looking at the patient’s characteristics, mode of presentation, the role of tumor markers and radiological imaging in diagnosis. It was also examined the stage and pathological features of the presentation and subsequent course of the disease. Result: The median age was 45 (range: 32-63 yrs). Three cases were stage I and one case was stage III. The average tumor diameter was 14.1cm. All patients were under surgery. Two patients not received any adjuvant therapy and two patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. One patient had recurrent disease in the pelvis during adjuvant chemotherapy and died at 8 month of her diagnosis. Other three patients were disease free for last 3 years. The overall 2 yrs survival was 70%. Conclusion: Squamous carcinomas arising in mature cystic teratomas are commonly large ovarian tumors that occur in perimenopausal women often present as an incidental finding. There are no reliable diagnostic tools or prognostic indicators. The behaviour of these tumors is unpredictable. Conservative surgery may be considered in women wishing to preserve fertility. The role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy remains unclear in the adjuvant or metastatic setting.
