The cancer of uterine cervix is one of the most common carcinomas in women. This morbid entity can frequently take its course synchronously with other benign and malignant diseases of the female reproductive system. We present a case of 57-year-old woman with cancer of uterine cervix, in whom a formation in the lesser pelvis was diagnosed by accident - it was preoperatively accepted as a large myoma, but, subsequently, it was found to be fibroma of the ovary. These concomitant diseases can result in difficulties when performing of the volume of surgery for the main diseases and intraoperative complications.
