Abstract
Carcinosarcoma of the uterus (malignant mixed Müllerian tumor: MMMT) is a rare and very aggressive form of uterine cancer. It represents about 3- 4% of uterine malignancy. This is a biphasic tumor that contains both carcinoma and sarcoma components. The author reports an original case of a carcinosarcoma of the uterus with heterologous sarcoma component in a 60 year-old Caucasian woman, revealed by gynecological bleeding. The patient underwent radical surgery with a large lymph node dissection (54 nodes) and peritoneal cytology. It was a pT3apN1, FIGO Stage III. It was decided to deliver adjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy.
