Malignant mixed Mullerian tumors (MMMTs) are rare neoplasms. We report the clinical, pathologic, and immunohistochemical features of an MMMT primary of uterine cervix. This lesion was composed of a poorly differentiated epithelial component (cytokeratin positive) and a spindle cell component (vimentin positive) with heterologous (myoblastic) differentiation (focal 1A4 positive). There were also cells with neuroendocrine features that expressed S-100 and chromogranin A. Along with a brief review of this amazing neoplasm, some histogenetic concepts relevant to this case are discussed. To our knowledge this is the first report of a malignant mixed Mullerian tumor of the uterine cervix with neuroendocrine differentiation.
恶性苗勒管混合瘤(MMMTs)是罕见的肿瘤。我们报告一例原发性宫颈MMMT的临床、病理及免疫组化特征。该病变由低分化上皮成分(细胞角蛋白阳性)和梭形细胞成分(波形蛋白阳性)组成,伴有异源性(成肌细胞性)分化(局灶性1A4阳性)。还有具有神经内分泌特征的细胞,表达S-100和嗜铬粒蛋白A。在简要回顾这一罕见肿瘤的同时,讨论了与该病例相关的一些组织发生学概念。据我们所知,这是首例具有神经内分泌分化的宫颈恶性苗勒管混合瘤的报告。
