Thirteen patients with verified malignant mixed Müllerian tumor of the ovary treated in Denmark during the 7‐year period 1981‐87 were reviewed. Two patients had homologous and 11 patients had heterologous tumors. Four patients with early stage disease underwent radical surgery; 9 patients had stage III disease. Median survival for all 13 patients was 12 months. Six patients received platinum‐containing cytotoxic therapy; 2 of these patients without measurable disease became long‐term survivors (survival times 42+ and 92+ months, respectively) and 3 of the 4 remaining patients with evaluable disease obtained an objective remission.
