[Uterine carcinosarcoma with chondroid differentiation--immuhistochemical examination]

Uterine carcinosarcomas are highly aggressive malignant tumours, consisting of both epithelial and mesenchymal components. They represent 1-3% of the malignant uterine neoplasms. Their histogenesis is unclear. Because of their rarity and the very few clinical data available, the studies of potential therapeutic goals are scarce. We present clinical and pathohistological description of a rare case of a 76-year-old woman with a uterine carcinosarcoma with a chondroid differentiation, examined immunohistochemically with Cytokeratin, Vimentin and S-100 protein.
