Abstract:
Malignant mixed m llerian tumor (MMMT) of the ovary is very rare neoplasm consisting of both a sarcomatous and carcinomatous component and represent is fewer than 1% of all ovarian malignancies. Characteristically, ovarian MMMTs follow an aggressive clinical course, and long-term survival is unusual. Almost all MMMTs are found in postmenopausal women, often with low parity and usually in an advanced stage. Stage has been recognized as the single most important prognostic factors. However, a major improvement in prognosis for this rare malignancy has not yet been achieved. The authors have experienced one case of primary malignant mixed m llerian tumor of the ovary and report our experience with a brief review of literature.
