%X Malignant triton tumor (MTT) is a highly aggressive malignant neoplasm, classified as a variant of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. There are few reports that MTT occurred in urogenital system. In the present study, we report the first MTT occurring in the uterus. A 57-year-old woman came to the emergency department due to persistent vaginal bleeding for 2 months. The gynecological palpation found that a club-shaped excrescence existed in the vagina about 7 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm. The mass located in the lower segment of the uterus and the cervix was confirmed by gynecological vaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, which was preliminarily diagnosed as cervical carcinoma. After neoplasm punch biopsy, the pathological diagnosis was malignant triton tumor. The patient finally lost follow-up. This is the first report about MTT in the uterus and suggests that pathological biopsy combined with imaging examination is necessary for the diagnosis of rarely MTT.
