[Uterine mixed malignant mesodermal tumors--a case with an unusual distribution of components]

In a 67-year old woman diagnosis of uterine carcinosarcoma was settled according to curettage biopsy but papillary endometrioid adenocarcinoma pattern prevailed in the resected large tumour. An extensive search was needed to find a focal heterologous sarcomatous component in the tumour center. A more detailed microscopical investigation of some presumed uterine carcinomas may succeed in the same way.
