Abstract:
Malignant mixed miillerian tumor (MMMT) was one of the rare uterine sarcoma. This tumor is composed of sarcoma and carcinoma. Primary MMMT in the peritoneum is among the rarest sites for MMMT. MMMT is highly malignant and the prognosis is grave due to frequent recurrence and metastasis. In the world literature, only 22 cases with primary MMMT of the peritoneum have been reported and most of these were single report. We report one case of primary MMMT in the peritoneum with a brief review.
