Ovarian carcinoma of transitional cell type are rare, however, their simultaneous occurrence with bladder carcinoma of the same type is even a rarer condition. To our knowledge, 3 cases of this uncommon event have been reported in the literature.

We present an 87-year-old female who had a previous history of bladder carcinoma of transitional type twelve years ago. She had ovarian carcinoma of the same type. She had undergone TUR several times optimal cystoreductive surgery was performed for ovarian carcinoma. Chemotherapy was given following surgery and in a 6-month follow up there were no signs of a residual tumor.
