Abstract :

Malignant Mullerian mixed tumors also known as Carcinosarcomas or Metaplastic Carcinoma or Malignant mesodermal mixed tumor of the uterine cervix are extremely rare, accounting for 0.005% of all cervical malignancies. Most cases are seen in adult women over 48–50 years (post–menopausal); although, a wider age range may be presented. A 40 year old woman admitted to UISEM hospital (obs & gynae deptt.) with complaints of abdominal pain of 7 months duration. USG findings are cervical fioid with degeneration. A large solitary mass measuring 5 x 4 x 3 cm, in cervical region with areas of hemorrhage and necrosis is seen. On microscopic examination of H&E sections large number of atypical pleomorphic cells forming various glandular, solid and papillary structures are seen. A sarcomatous component composed of polygonal and spindle–shaped cells also recognized however no heterologus component is seen.
