Abstract:
This review discusses sarcomatoid carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract, rare malignant neoplasms that demonstrate both epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation. The clinical, histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features are described. Practical problems in the differential diagnosis of these tumors are also discussed.

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.

Histology of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract
The GI tract, from beginning to end, is made up of four continuous tissue layers that adjust their structure according to their specific roles. These layers, from innermost to outermost, are known as the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa, which are continuous with the mesentery.
The mucosa is sometimes called a mucous membrane due to its mucus-secreting features. This membrane is composed of epithelium, which directly interacts with ingested substances, and the lamina propria, a layer...
