Summary

Malignant mixed Mullerian tumours (MMMTs) are rare, aggressive uterine cancers. Early detection and multidisciplinary management are crucial due to high recurrence rates and poor prognoses.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malignant mixed Mullerian tumours (MMMTs) are rare, aggressive neoplasms originating from the Mullerian mesoderm.
  • These tumors exhibit both malignant epithelial and stromal components, typically affecting postmenopausal women and presenting at advanced stages.

Observation:

  • This report details three uterine MMMT cases with patient ages ranging from 25 to 69 years.
  • Presenting symptoms included bloody discharge, abdominal pain, and uterine enlargement.
  • Treatment involved hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or pelvic mass resection, with 2 patients receiving adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Findings:

  • One patient experienced pelvic tumor recurrence at 59 months post-treatment.
  • Another patient developed breast metastases at 20 months.

  • The study highlights the aggressive nature and poor prognosis associated with uterine MMMTs.

    • Implications:

    • Due to the high incidence of recurrence and poor prognosis, MMMTs necessitate a multidisciplinary approach.
    • Optimal management requires collaboration among surgeons, oncologists, radiotherapists, and pathologists for comprehensive patient care.
