Malignant müllerian mixed tumor of the uterus with a prominent alpha-fetoprotein-producing component of yolk sac tumor
Mod Pathol.
1996 Jun.
Abstract
We describe a case of a 64-year-old woman with a malignant müllerian mixed tumor of the uterus containing a prominent component of yolk sac tumor, which was associated with high serum levels of alpha-fetoprotein. The neoplasm pursued an aggressive course and the patient died 2 months postoperatively. This is the first case of this type and only the ninth alpha-fetoprotein-secreting endometrial cancer in the literature.
