ABSTRACT
Lynch syndrome, aged 35 years or older, who have completed child-
bearing. l If a woman with Lynch syndrome is undergoing surgery for colorectal
carcinoma, consideration should be made for the concurrent performance
of a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. l Women with Lynch syndrome undergoing prophylactic hysterectomy may
have an occult malignancy; therefore, preoperative endometrial biopsy and
CA-125 should be considered. l Patients undergoing prophylactic hysterectomy for Lynch syndrome
should have an intraoperative evaluation of the uterus and ovaries.
