| Sumario: | Adult patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have higher rates of antecedent and subsequent malignancies. However, synchronous identification of ALL and ovarian cancer is exceedingly rare. We report the unique case of a 65-year-old woman with synchronous B-cell ALL and low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma diagnosed after surgical intervention for a small bowel obstruction. Treatment with inotuzumab ozogamicin followed by adnexal mass resection and postoperative letrozole was successful in achieving complete remission for both her leukemia and ovarian cancer. |
