Abstract

Malignant mixed m llerian tumors (MMMTs) are highly aggressive biphasic neoplasm composed of carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. In the female genital tract, most cases arise from the endometrium, but cases also are encountered, although less frequently, in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Extragenital primary peritoneal MMMTs are rare and to our knowledge, 29 cases with primary peritoneal MMMTs have been reported in the literature. We experienced a case of extragenital primary peritoneal MMMT and report with a brief review of literature.
