Abstract
Malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT) is a type of cancer that contains two cell types known as the adenocarcinoma and sarcoma. MMMT is a rare malignant cancer of the genital tract and particularly the prevalence of MMMT in the cervix is extremely rare. Due to the rare incidence of MMMT in cervix, its treatment has unestablished guidelines and has unclear prognosis. Based on the previous data, the prognosis of MMMT in the cervix is better than the prognosis of uterine MMMT. Here, we are reporting a case of cervix MMMT that is rapidly progressive with an extremely poor prognosis, which contradicts the previous data.
Key Words: Malignant mixed Mullerian tumor, Uterine cervix, Prognosis
