1/11. Primary peritoneal malignant mixed Mullerian tumors. A clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic study.

    BACKGROUND: Primary peritoneal malignant mixed Mullerian tumors (MMMTs) are rarely reported in the literature. methods: The clinical, pathologic, and immunohistochemical features of five cases of MMMT of female peritoneum were analyzed. The tumors were also investigated for expression of hormone receptors, specific BRCA-1 mutations, and clonality. RESULTS: The patients' ages ranged from 33 to 67 years. They presented with abdominal pain or mass. One case of peritoneal MMMT was associated with a synchronous endometrial carcinoma whereas another case was detected 2 years after the diagnosis of a primary adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube. One patient died 1 month after diagnosis whereas 2 patients died with disease within 1 year. Both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements are present in all the tumors. Squamous differentiation was noted in two cases. Heterologous elements, including chondroid, rhabodomyoblastic, and osteoid differentiation were detected in all tumors. Immunohistochemical studies confirm the biphasic differentiation with variable demonstration of neural and smooth muscle differentiation. All five MMMTs were negative for estrogen and progestogen receptors although the related endometrial and tubal carcinomas were positive. heteroduplex analysis used to screen for specific BRCA-1 mutations were negative in all five MMMTs. Clonality study of the two MMMTs found in association with endometrial carcinoma and tubal carcinoma was inconclusive. CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirmed that primary peritoneal MMMTs were aggressive tumors with poor prognosis. The presence of synchronous or metachronous genital carcinomas suggests multifocal tumorigenesis from tissue of same embryologic origin. The lack of hormone receptor in these tumors indicates deviation from hormonal control. Specific BRCA-1 mutations found in ovarian carcinoma in Chinese patients could not be detected in our series.

2/11. Malignant mixed mullerian tumor of fallopian tube with multiple distinct heterologous components.

    We experienced a case of primary malignant mixed mullerian tumors (MMMTs) of the fallopian tube of FIGO stage I. In addition to endometrioid adenocarcinomas, multiple apparent heterologous elements encompassing myxoid chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma, and well-differentiated angiosarcoma were recognized separately in each nodule. Those findings that divergent sarcomatoid differentiations are apparently present masquerading malignant mesenchymoma have not been described in MMMTs of the female genital tract.

3/11. Malignant mixed Mullerian tumor of the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube: origin as an intraepithelial carcinoma.

    BACKGROUND: A paucity of examples of malignant mixed Mullerian tumors (MMMT) of the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube has been reported. CASE: We report a first case of FIGO Stage IV primary MMMT, heterologous type, in the right fimbria of a 77-year-old woman associated with symptomatic pleural spread who succumbed with recurrent disease 12 months after resection and postoperative paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: The identification of intraepithelial carcinoma in this tumor lends support to a role of the epithelial component in fimbrial MMMT histogenesis as seen for MMMT at other anatomic sites. Comparison of the clinical management of these tumors shows prolonged survival of patients whose treatment included postoperative pelvic external radiotherapy.

4/11. Fallopian tube carcinoma presenting as tubo-ovarian abscess: a report of two cases with literature review.

    Preoperative diagnosis of fallopian tube carcinoma is difficult, with fewer than 5% being diagnosed preoperatively. We describe tubal carcinoma, presenting as a tubo-ovarian abscess in two 47-year-old women. Both patients presented with abdominal pain, pelvic mass, and fever. Both patients were treated as having a tubo-ovarian abscess but failed to respond to therapy. During surgery a metastatic right tubal carcinoma was found. A definite operation was performed in both patients. Three additional cases of fallopian tube carcinoma, presenting as acute pelvic inflammatory disease, were found while reviewing the English literature. Actually all these three cases presented as tubo-ovarian abscess because of the existence of tender pelvic mass. Carcinoma of the fallopian tube should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscess in those who failed to respond to a previously unreported clinical presentation.

5/11. Malignant mixed mullerian tumor of primary mesenteric origin.

    Malignant mixed mullerian tumor (MMMT) is a rare tumor. A literature search revealed very few reports on MMMT, especially those arising in the peritoneum. We recently encountered an MMMT of primary mesenteric origin associated with left fallopian tube cancer. There have been no previous reports about its occurrence in the mesentery. When cases of peritoneal MMMT were reviewed, the disease was found to be associated with synchronous or metachronous gynecologic tumors of mullerian duct origin (ie, ovarian tumors, primary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum, fallopian tube cancer, endometrial cancer, and adenocarcinoma of the cervix) in 12 out of 32 patients (37.5%). Peritoneal MMMT are frequently associated with gynecologic tumors.

6/11. Malignant mixed mullerian tumour of the fallopian tube of heterologous variety--a case report.

    A female aged 49 years presented with pain and progressive swelling of right lower abdomen. She was operated upon and gross examination revealed a proliferative growth in the fimbrial end of the right fallopian tube. Microscopically the tumour comprised of adenocarcinoma and component of spindle cell stromal sarcoma with areas of chondrosarcoma as heterologous element. A diagnosis of malignant mixed mullerian tumour of the fallopian tube, clinically FIGO stage III was made, which is extremely rare in available literature.

7/11. Extrauterine malignant mixed mullerian tumor of primary peritoneal origin.

    The case of an extrauterine heterologous malignant mixed mullerian tumor (MMMT) of primary peritoneal origin occurring in a 63 yr old woman is presented. The tumor was a 19 cm, soft, friable mass arising from the serosa of the sigmoid colon and spreading to adjacent pelvic peritoneum. The uterus, tubes and ovaries were uninvolved. It was composed of sarcomatous areas showing cartilaginous and rhabdomyoblastic differentiation and sharply demarcated carcinomatous areas showing endometrioid and serous differentiation. This is the thirteenth reported case of an extragenital MMMT. It demonstrates the pluripotentiality of female pelvic peritoneum to differentiate into tumors resembling those of the genital tract.

8/11. Malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube.

    Primary malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube is uncommon. Only 37 cases of malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube have been reported to date and of these only 16 contained heterologous components (mesodermal mixed tumor). This rarity made us report a case of malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube containing heterologous components which was operated on in our gynecologic oncology department. Postoperatively the patient was placed on six courses of adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of cis-platinum, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (PAC). Second look laparotomy was performed after completion of chemotherapy. Presently, she is doing well, at two months follow-up, with no evidence of disease.

9/11. An unusual extrauterine variant of adenosarcoma with multiple recurrences over 16 years.

    An unusual extrauterine (pelvic) variant of adenosarcoma is presented. A benign-appearing epithelium resembling fallopian tube epithelium is integrally mixed with malignant stroma that in all areas sampled is low-grade leiomyosarcoma. The tumor has behaved as a low-grade malignancy with four local recurrences over a 16-year period. Extrauterine adenosarcomas have rarely been reported in the literature; and one in which the stromal component is histologically all of smooth muscle differentiation is more unusual.

10/11. diagnosis and clinical management in malignant Mullerian tumors of the fallopian tube. A report of four cases and review of recent literature.

    Four out of 42 cases of primary tubal malignancy diagnosed in our histopathological laboratory were malignant mixed Mullerian tumors (MMMT). All four patients were postmenopausal with a mean age of 66.5 years at diagnosis. A correct preoperative diagnosis was made only in one case. Tumor staging (FIGO) revealed stage IIa, IIIc and IV. One patient died of postoperative pulmonary embolism, a second patient of an unknown cause five month after surgery and a third patient died of disease after 11 months with secondary deposits in pelvic peritoneum, omentum and paraaortic lymph nodes. The fourth patient is still alive. One patient received chemotherapy alone, one by radiation and chemotherapy and two patients by radiation alone. Tumor spread at the time of diagnosis and the residual tumor volume were the most important prognostic factors. All tumors were histologically the homologous type of MMMT (carcinosarcomas). No heterologous elements were found. Metastatic tumors showed only sarcomatous elements.
