Yolk sac tumors (YSTs) are rare germ-cell malignancies that usually develop in the gonads. Similarly, gastric-type adenocarcinoma of the endocervix (GAS) is a rare kind of gynecological cancer that has piqued interest due to its distinctive clinical and pathological features. These two malignancies in a single patient present a unique and challenging scenario. Here, we present the case of a 33-year-old female who presented with postcoital bleeding and was diagnosed with atypical glandular proliferation consistent with GAS. Interestingly, this patient had a history of a YST treated with left salpingo-oophorectomy and chemoradiation in the Philippines five years prior. A follow-up ultrasound report in the Philippines five months after treatment showed no evidence of residual disease. This case report aims to understand the predisposing factors of these neoplasms and asks if there is a link between them, which is necessary for tailoring surveillance, appropriate therapeutic approaches, and improving patient outcomes.
卵黄囊瘤(YSTs)是一种罕见的生殖细胞恶性肿瘤,通常发生在性腺。同样,宫颈胃型腺癌(GAS)是一种罕见的妇科癌症,因其独特的临床和病理特征而引起关注。一名患者同时患有这两种恶性肿瘤,这是一种独特且具有挑战性的情况。在此,我们报告一例33岁女性患者,该患者出现性交后出血,被诊断为符合GAS的非典型腺性增生。有趣的是,该患者五年前在菲律宾曾因YST接受了左侧输卵管卵巢切除术及放化疗。治疗五个月后菲律宾的一份超声随访报告显示无残留疾病迹象。本病例报告旨在了解这些肿瘤的诱发因素,并探讨它们之间是否存在联系,这对于制定监测方案、选择合适的治疗方法以及改善患者预后至关重要。
