Abstract:
Carcinosarcoma of the ovary, also referred to as mixed mullerian tumor of the ovary, is a rare and aggressive tumor. This tumor type is unique in that it contains malignant epithelial and stromal elements. The average survival for a woman diagnosed with carcinosarcoma of the ovary is less than 2 years. Due to the rarity of this tumor, the optimal treatment for carcinosarcoma of the ovary has not been determined. We review the pathology, risk factors, and current treatment recommendations for carcinosarcoma of the ovary.
