Abstract

Malignant mixed m llerian tumor (MMMT) of the fallopian tube is extremely rare with poor prognosis. Primary fallopian tube cancer accounts for approximately 0.3% of all female genital tract malignancies. MMMT of the fallopian tube is extremely rare, accounting for 2.4-5.2% of tubal malignancies. Its clinical behavior resemble that of primary ovarian cancer, so preoperative diagnosis of fallopain tube carcinoma is seldom made. The diagnosis is usually obtained postoperatively. Recently we have experienced a case of MMMT of the fallopian tube, so we report this case with a brief review of literature.
