Microscopic findings (H&E staining). These images clearly demonstrate the diagnosis of primary malignant mixed Müllerian tumour of the fallopian tube (A). A tumour mass is seen occupying the entire tubal lumen (B) with malignant epithelial component (C) and sarcomatous components (D) with heterologous elements of liposarcoma (E) and chondrosarcoma (F) and the neoplasia is lined by tubal epithelium (G). Furthermore, there is only neoplastic involvement of the outer surface of both ovaries (H) and uterine body's serosa, the ovarian/uterine contribution is to a lesser extent than in the fallopian tube and there is no coexistent endometrial cancer of the same histological type.
