It is well recognized that some patients with endometrioid gynecological cancers have tumors arising in multiple sites (ovary, endometrium, and endometriosis) at the time of diagnosis. Molecular analysis has helped discern whether these multisite cancers represent synchronous primary tumors or alternatively metastatic disease. We present a complex case of a patient with endometrioid carcinomas arising in multiple sites. We discuss the use of mutation profiling to discern clonality and highlight how this information may inform the clinical management of such cases.
