Asymptomatic giant gastric carcinosarcoma

Carcinosarcoma is an aggressive malignant neoplasm separate from adenocarcinoma with need for a radical early treatment for good response and survival. Less than 75 cases have been reported worldwide. Here, we report a case of an asymptomatic carcinosarcoma of stomach in a lady in her 70's presenting incidentally who underwent distal gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction for a large epigastric mass along with a review of literature. Although carcinosarcoma in the stomach is a rare entity, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis in a rapidly growing gastric growth. It requires further descriptions and collections of individual cases.
