Abstract
Objective
To report a rare case of cervical malignancy necessitating complex treatment.
Case
A sixty-five year old woman was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosed tumor arising from the upper lip of the cervix. Patient underwent the amputation of the cervix with the curettage of the cervical channel. Because of the diagnosis of malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT) a radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed afterwards. The composition of the tumor concerning basaloid carcinoma combined with homologous sarcoma was published only in five cases in the known literature.
Conclusions
Because of rarity of MMMT there are no consensus guidelines regarding treatment. We present the case with successful management and 4-year disease free survival.
