Abstract:
Malignant mesothelioma of the uterus is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm originating from the mesothelial surface cell lining of the uterus. It is known to have very poor prognosis with median survival period of 4-18 months. We report a rare case of primary malignant mesothelioma of the uterus showing no evidence of recurrence for 2 years, after management with operation and adjuvant chemotherapy.
