Area of Science:

Oncology
Pathology

Background:

Carcinosarcoma, or malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT), is a rare biphasic neoplasm.
Typically arising in the female genital tract, extragenital MMMTs are exceptionally rare, with fewer than 40 cases reported.
Primary peritoneal carcinosarcoma presents aggressively with a poor prognosis.

Observation:

A 48-year-old female presented with abdominal pain, bloating, fatigue, and bloody bowel movements.
Imaging revealed a large pelvic mass compressing the sigmoid colon.
Surgical resection of a mesenteric mass diagnosed as Mullerian-type primary peritoneal carcinosarcoma with positive lymph nodes.

Findings:

The patient's elevated CEA and CA 125 levels indicated malignancy.
Pathological diagnosis confirmed primary peritoneal carcinosarcoma, Mullerian-type.
The tumor originated from the sigmoid colon mesentery.

Implications:

This case underscores the rarity and diagnostic challenges of primary peritoneal carcinosarcoma.
Aggressive surgical debulking and chemotherapy are crucial for managing this aggressive tumor.
Further research into the work-up and surgical management of extragenital carcinosarcomas is warranted.
