title: Pelvic malignancy in female nonagenarians.
abstract: Reports about pelvic malignancy in female nonagenarians are scarce. Thirteen women 90 years of age and older were diagnosed with a malignant pelvic tumor between 1984 and 1996. The majority of these malignancies were gynecologic in origin. The development of a malignant pelvic tumor was, in our experience, associated with a poor prognosis. However, long-term cure after definitive treatment, as deemed feasible, is not precluded.
