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.

Background: Enterobiasis occurs throughout the female genital tract and may involve peritoneal surfaces. It is generally an incidental finding at surgery or at autopsy but occasionally is symptomatic. Most of the superficial lesions are composed of granulomas with variable fibrosis in which diagnostic eggs are found, often associated with degenerated adult worms. Multiple histologic sections may be required to establish the diagnosis in older lesions.Case: A case of enterobiasis of the ovary in a patient with squamous-cell carcinoma in situ of the cervix is presented. The features of enterobiasis are discussed.Conclusion: The importance of mistaking such lesions for ovarian cancer is discussed.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva is predominantly a disease of postmenopausal women; it accounts for 5% of all female genital malignant neoplasms. Postoperative recovery in two among the five operated patient was late as their vulval wound underwent dehiscence. Other three patients had an uneventful post operative period. Histopathology report showed Squamous cell carcinoma in all the cases. Lymphnodes was negative for malignant cells in all the cases.

Vulvar cancer is a rare gynaecological malignancy, accounting for 2–5% of cancers of the female genital tract. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequently occurring subtype and, historically, has been a disease of older post-menopausal women, occurring with a background of lichen sclerosus and other epithelial conditions of the vulvar skin that may be associated with well-differentiated vulvar intra-epithelial neoplasia (dVIN). An increase in human papillomavirus (HPV) infections worldwide has led to an increase in vulvar squamous carcinomas in younger women, resulting from HPV-associated high-grade vulvar squamous intra-epithelial lesions (vHSIL). Surgical resection is the gold standard for the treatment of vulvar cancer. However, as approximately 30% of patients present with locally advanced disease, which is either irresectable or will require radical surgical resection, possibly with a stoma, there has been a need to investigate alternative forms of treatment such as chemoradiation and targeted therapies, which may minimise the psychosexual morbidity of radical surgery. This review aims to provide an update on management strategies for women with advanced vulvar cancer. It is hoped that investigation of the molecular biologies of the two different pathways to vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (HPV-associated and non-HPV-associated) will lead to the development of targeted therapeutic agents.
