Uterine carcinosarcoma is a rare and rapidly fatal malignancy. The records of 49 patients with carcinosarcoma were studied; from these studies emerged a symptom complex of vaginal bleeding and abdominal or pelvic pain. Eleven patients had been previously irradiated at an average of 16.4 years before they developed uterine carcinosarcoma. Celiotomies revealed more extensive tumor than could be determined by pelvic examination under anesthesia. The majority of the patients died from local recurrence in the pelvis rather than from distant metastases. The overall 5-year survival was 6%. Celiotomies are recommended to stage carcinosarcomas and guide treatment decisions.

Uterine carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed mullerian tumor) is uncommon. We report the case of a 17-year-old patient who complained of pelvic pain and abnormal genital bleeding, and had a voluminous hemorrhagic tumor protruding through the vaginal os. Hysterectomy was performed. The histopathologic and immunohistochemical evaluation led to the diagnosis of uterine carcinosarcoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given. In spite of the surgical treatment, the evolution was fatal with widespread metastases. From data of the literature, we discuss the diagnosis, histogenesis and treatment of this rare tumor.

Uterine sarcomas are rare tumours with poor prognosis. The most common presenting symptoms are vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain. We present a case of uterine carcinosarcoma diagnosed retrospectively after surgical specimen analysis in a 69-year-old patient presenting gastro-intestinal complaints. At the time of diagnosis, the patient was in FIGO, stage IV.
