[Malignant mixed mesodermal tumor detected by uterine inversion. Apropos of a case. Review of the literature].
The authors report the anatomoclinical observation of an 82-year old patient presenting a mixed malignant mesodermal tumour (MMMT) revealed by a uterine inversion. The histological examination revealed sarcomatous and carcinomatous lesions with zones of chondroid metaplasia infiltrating largely the myometrium. A total vaginal hysterectomy, accompanied by radiotherapy, got the better of an early local relapse. The histogenetic hypotheses of MMMTs, the particular circumstances of the tumour revelation, as well as the methods of treatment are reviewed.
