Abstract

This clinicopathologic study of three patients with malignant mixed Müllerian tumor of the peritoneum and review of the literature shows that this tumor is relatively rare and has a grim prognosis. It can be differentiated from other biphasic neoplasms that may involve the female peritoneum primarily or secondarily. Differential diagnostic criteria are proposed for distinguishing this tumor from a biphasic malignant mesothelioma. Int J Surg Pathol 3(3) :155-162, 1996
