title: Prolonged survival of a patient with pelvic recurrence of ovarian malignant mixed mullerian tumor after chemoradiotherapy.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor (MMMT) is a very rare tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all ovarian cancers.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a 64-year-old woman with stage III MMMT of ovary that was treated with platinum-based chemotherapy after optimal cytoreductive surgery. After 25 months of being disease free, she had a pelvic recurrence and a good response to chemoradiotherapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Optimal cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy may be the best treatment in MMMT but more discussion and experiences are needed regarding the effectiveness of radiotherapy.
