Abstract
- Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the sonographic, contrast-enhanced CT, and gadolinium-enhanced MRI findings of primary malignant mixed müllerian tumors (MMMTs) of the uterus.<br />Conclusion: Uterine MMMT most commonly presents as an intracavitary mass with coexistent dilatation of the endometrial canal. Tumors tend to appear hyperechoic on sonography, heterogeneously hypodense and ill defined on contrast-enhanced CT, and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2-weighted MR images with signal abnormalities indicating subacute hemorrhage on T1-weighted MR images. Myometrial invasion is common and has a predilection for the uterine fundus.
