Malignant mixed mullerian tumour of uterine cervix with heterologous mesenchymal component– A rare case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Malignant Mixed Mullerain Tumors (MMMT) of the uterus and cervix are biphasic tumors, commonly composed of non glandular carcinomas and the homologous sarcomatous components occurring in elderly age. These tumours are more common in the body of the uterus and extremely rare in the cervix. We present a case of MMMT of the cervix having endometrioid adenocarcinoma (glandular carcinomatous element) and grade I chondrosarcoma as heterologus mesenchymal component. The tumour had spread to the adjacent areas; however, the body of the uterus was uninvolved. This is a rare event, furthermore, this case is presented to emphasize that this entity has to be considered as a differential diagnosis for the cervical tumors.
