Malignant mixed m llerian tumor (MMMT) of the ovary is very rare neoplasm consisting of both a sarcomatous and carcinomatous component and represent is fewer than 1% of all ovarian malignancies. Characteristically, ovarian MMMTs follow an aggressive clinical course, and long-term survival is unusual. Almost all MMMTs are found in postmenopausal women, often with low parity and usually in an advanced stage. Stage has been recognized as the single most important prognostic factors.
