Abstract

Carcinosarcomas are rare and aggressive tumors of the uterus and carry poor prognosis. It represents less than 5 % of all malignant tumors of the uterine body. It occurs most often in postmenopausal metrorrhagia. Preoperative diagnosis of Carcinosarcomas is essential to optimize surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is the mainstay of treatment for non-metastatic Carcinosarcomas. The prognosis depends on the stage of the tumor surgery, which is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. We report one case of uterine carcinosarcoma through which we specify the epidemiological, pathological, clinical and therapeutic support of Carcinosarcomas.
