Keywords:
Cervix, Hysterectomy, Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor, Cervical Polyp
Abstract
Malignant mixed Mullerian tumors of the cervix are very rare tumors, constituting only 0.005% of all cervical malignancies. It usually presents with abnormal vaginal bleeding in post-menopausal women. The tumor has high rates of metastasis, so careful management including surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy is done for these patients.Here, we present a case of a 47 year old woman who present with an ectocervical polyp. The patient underwent hysterectomy and the polyp was diagnosed on histopathological examination as malignant mixed Mullerian tumor of the cervix.References
