Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumour of the Ovary- A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: GUJARAT CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH JOURNAL - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Malignant mixed Mullerian tumour (MMMT) of ovary or ovarian carcinosarcoma is an aggressive neoplasm of postmenopausal females. Histologically, it is comprised of both epithelial and sarcomatous components. Prognosis is poor and is largely dependent on stage and optimal cytoreduction, and partly on age and characteristic of sarcomatous component. Taxane and platinum combination is the most widely used chemotherapeutic regimen. We present here a case of MMMT in a postmenopausal female who presented to us with ovarian mass and colonic involvement
