Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor of the Uterus (Uterine Carcinosarcoma): A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Malignant mixed mullerian tumors of the uterus (Uterine Carcinosarcomas) are rare and aggressive malignancies consisting of an epithelial (carcinoma) and a mesenchymal (sarcoma) tumor component and are considered as metaplastic endometrial carcinomas. Gebhardt in 1899 appears to have reported the first case of carcinosarcoma of uterus. Carcinosarcoma though rare, representing less than 5% of all uterine tumors, account for 16.4% of all deaths caused by a uterine malignancy. Here, we present a case of 51 years old post menopausal women admitted to hospital with complaints of metrorrhagia and abdominal pain of 3 months duration. While hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy remains the mainstay of treatment, high rates of recurrence, and metastasis suggests a need for lymphadenectomy and post operative adjuvant treatment.
