“…Including this report, 37 cases of malignant mixed Mullerian tumour of the fallopian tube have been reported and, of these, 2 1 were of the homologous type and only 16 contained heterologous components (Buchino & Buchino 1987, Yabushita et al 1987. None of the previously reported cases was bilateral.…”

Background. Malignant mixed müllerian tumor (MMT) of tubal origin is rare and optimal therapy is unknown. Methods. Five new cases of MMT of the fallopian tube are presented, and the previous literature is reviewed. Results. Eight of 10 patients disease‐free at 36 months had long‐term cancer‐free survival. Surgery alone was inadequate therapy even for those with apparent Stage I disease. Five of six treated postoperatively with radiation and chemotherapy have lived disease‐free for at least 45 months. Conclusions. Combination radiation and chemotherapy may offer improved outcome. Cancer 1993; 71:187‐92.

Malignant mixed Müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube: Case report and literature review

Carcinosarcoma, also known as malignant mixed Müllerian tumor (MMMT), includes both malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements. While the endometrium is the most frequent known site for carcinosarcomas, their development in the fallopian tube is rare condition, only accounting for 0.1 to 0.5% among all gynecological malignancies. Fallopian tube MMMT is associated with an aggressive progression. A total of 94 previous case reports were reviewed and divided, after applying the exclusion criteria, into 2 groups: No evidence of disease (NED) Group including 33 patients reported to be without any residual disease at the end of the follow-up period; death of disease (DOD) Group including 51 patients who died due to the progression of fallopian carcinosarcoma or its complications. The gathered data were statistically analyzed together with a case from our clinical experience: a 65-year-old postmenopausal patient with a final histological diagnosis of fallopian carcinosarcoma staged FIGO IC2, synchronous with a serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma. Patient age between 41 and 60 years, symptoms at presentation and computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tumor evidence are prognostic factors (P<0.05). Omentectomy [odds ratio (OR)=0.3545] and pelvic lymphadenectomy (OR= 0.3732) were found to be significant factors for survival (P<0.05). Fimbrial localization of the tumor is a negative prognosis factor (OR=4.263), as well as the heterologous type of tumor (OR=2.880). Chemotherapy was found to improve survival (OR=0.2679) while radiotherapy had no influence on patient prognosis. Reporting these rare cases could be essential for obtaining more precise information regarding the treatment and prognosis of patients with MMMT of the fallopian tube, in order to improve patient survival and quality of life.
