Malignant mixed müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube

Abstract

Primary malignant mixed müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube is uncommon. Only 37 cases of malignant mixed müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube have been reported to date and of these only 16 contained heterologous components (mesodermal mixed tumor). This rarity made us report a case of malignant mixed müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube containing heterologous components which was operated on in our gynecologic oncology department. Postoperatively the patient was placed on six courses of adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of cis-platinum, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (PAC). Second look laparotomy was performed after completion of chemotherapy. Presently, she is doing well, at two months follow-up, with no evidence of disease.
