Abstract
Primary ovarian
malignant mixed mesodermal tumors are uncommon. There exist few data in
the literature on the significance of the sarcomatous (sarcoma) component (SC) in
these tumors. Here we investigated this aspect in 47 such tumors, with
particular interest in whether the presence of SC outside the ovary
confers a worse prognosis. .......................We advocate listing
the specific extraovarian tumor component (SC and/or CC) in the
pathology report for primary ovarian malignant mixed mesodermal tumors.
