Malignant mixed mullerian tumors of the female genital tract are rare and occur least commonly in the fallopian tube. A case is reported and 51 other cases in the literature are reviewed. The mean age at diagnosis is 59 years. Abdominal pain is the most common presenting complaint. A pelvic or abdominal mass is present in 75% of patients. The diagnosis is not usually established until surgery, with the most common preoperative diagnosis being ovarian malignancy. Seventy-five percent of cases had tumor extension beyond the fallopian tube at the time of surgery. Treatment has focused on surgery with postoperative radiation and/or chemotherapy. Prognosis is poor, with fewer than half of patients surviving 2 years. Recent reports suggest improved outcome with platinum-based chemotherapy but data are limited.
