Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumour of Ovary: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Malignant Mixed Mullerian tumour (MMMT) of ovary is a rare, neoplasm accounting for less than 1% of all ovarian cancers. They are histologically biphasic tumours with both carcinomatous (epithelial) and sarcomatous (stromal) elements. Most women are post-menopausal at the time of presentation and usually between their 6th to 8th decades of life. On imaging, it is not possible to differentiate carcinosarcomas from other ovarian neoplasms and therefore the diagnosis is essentially based on histopathologic findings. It is associated with an aggressive clinical course and overall poor prognosis. We present a case of bilateral ovarian cancer in a 60-year-old female with complaints of abdominal mass, ascites, anaemia and histologically diagnosed as Primary Mixed Mullerian tumour in one ovary and Serous Papillary Adenocarcinoma in another ovary. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo oophorectomy and adjuvant chemo radiotherapy.
