OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study analyzed the CT characteristics of mullerian mixed tumors. Clinical aspects, outcomes, and pathologic correlations were also evaluated. CONCLUSION: Mullerian mixed tumor is a rapidly growing aggressive tumor with a relatively poor prognosis. Uterine and metastatic masses showed central low attenuation. Metastatic masses often had irregular enhancement centrally and surface enhancement circumferentially. The tendency toward local and lymphatic spread and intraperitoneal seeding was greater than the tendency toward hematogenous metastases. CT was useful before surgery in defining the extent of disease and for follow-up clinical management in identifying metastases and assessing treatment effectiveness.
