Biopsy-proven cerebellar metastasis from a malignant mixed mullerian tumor (MMMT) of the uterus: case report.
Brain metastasis from a malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT) of the uterus is rare. To our knowledge only three similar cases have been reported in the literature. In this report, the authors present the case of a 57-year-old woman with biopsy-proven cerebellar metastasis from a uterine MMMT. One month after complete resection, the mass showed rapid local recurrence. Attention should be paid to the possibility of unusual brain metastasis from a uterine MMMT, which could have an aggressive clinical course.
