Abstract
Carcinosarcoma of the ovary, also known as malignant mixed mesodermal or Müllerian tumors, are the least frequent and most complex ovarian neoplasms to treat. These tumors account for 1-4% of all ovarian masses. There are few randomized studies or large clinical trials. Therefore, management is based on case reports, series of retrospective studies, or extrapolations from neoplasms with similar characteristics in other locations. We present a case of carcinosarcoma of the ovary diagnosed and treated in our department with a view to increasing the experience reported with this type of tumor.
