CASE: A 50-year-old woman, para 0-0-0-0 was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of menorrhagia for 2 months. The preoperative evaluation and diagnosis was myoma uteri with bilateral ovarian tumor. Subtotal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy were performed. The postoperative and pathologic findings were adenosquamous carcinoma of the endocervix, adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, low malignant potential of the right ovary and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the left ovary. She received a complete course of whole pelvic radiation. Unfortunately, she died from pulmonary embolism. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of triple synchronous gynecological cancers is a rare and unique event deserving further studies.
