Description
Summary:	A 57-year-old asymptomatic lady had come for a master health check-up with a report of fibroid uterus diagnosed on ultrasound at a private hospital. Intraoperatively, a large retroperitoneal tumor was found with the uterus and adnexae being normal. The mass was removed in toto, and its pathological examination revealed a malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT). Immunohistochemistry also supported the diagnosis of MMMT. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged with the advice of oncology referral.
