65-year-old nullip with vaginal spotting. A hysterectomy is performed, and pathologic examination reveals heterologous components of a malignant tumor of the endometrial glands and metaplastic cartilage. Dx?

What is the calculation for RMI?
e.g. premenopausal, Ca125 250, ovarian mass with solid areas and ascites

RMI = ultrasound score x menopausal score x CA-125
3 x 1 x 250 = 750

3 for 2+ USS abnormalities
(mets, ascites, loculated cyst, solid areas)
1 for 1 USS abnormality

3 for postmenopausal
1 for premenopausal

(this is ‘RMI 1’ scoring = 3 rather than 4
