“…Second, MMMT is a very rare malignancy in the pediatric age group [16,. Third, whereas such pediatric cases may have rhabdomyosarcoma as a component [16,19,21], malignant cartilage has been reported only once [ 161. In contrast, cartilage is found in nearly 50% of rhabdomyosarcomas of the cervix [9], and it has a benign, or metaplastic appearance P I .…”

This report concerns a 20-year-old female who had a F.I.G.O. stage I rhabdomyosarcoma (sarcoma botryoides) of the cervix with a predominant embryonal pattern and heterologous cartilage that pursued an aggressive course despite surgery and chemotherapy. The patient had a pelvic recurrence, developed pulmonary metastases 15 months after diagnosis, and died 6 months later. Despite some previously published favorable prognostic assessments about this unique variant of cervical rhabdomyosarcoma, our limited experience would interject a note of caution, especially in the presence of a focal alveolar pattern and invasion of lymphatics in the cervix.

“…Carcinosarcomas of the uterus (malignant mixed Müllerian tumors) are a rare occurrence, accounting for only 2-5% of all uterine malignancies (1)(2)(3)(4). Carcinosarcomas are, however, highly aggressive, and are composed of epithelial and mesenchymal elements (5).…”

Abstract. Carcinosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus with a poor prognosis. We herein present a case of uterine carcinosarcoma in a 67-year-old woman suffering from pervaginal bleeding for 3 months, with progressive anemia. Upon biopsy of the endometrium, the tumor was diagnosed as endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection were performed. The histological examination revealed that the tumor consisted of serous adenocarcinoma and sarcoma of homologous components. After the operation, chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin was administered. At approximately 3 years postoperatively, the patient remains alive and recurrence-free.

“…Owing to financial constraints, IHC could not be done in our case. It is a tumor predominantly identified at the postmenopausal woman, but it can also be found at young women or children [10] . The clinical manifestations are non-specific common to other neoplasias with the same localization.…”

Carcinosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus with poor prognosis. We, herein, present a case of uterine carcinosarcoma in a 32-year-old woman suffering from menorrhagia and vaginal bleeding for 6 months. It was clinically suspected as carcinoma of uterus. Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection were done. The histological examination revealed that the tumor comprised components of poorly differentiated carcinoma and spinle cell sarcoma presumably fibrosarcoma accompanied by immature chondromatous element. Post-operative chemotherapy was given and patient was followed up closely.
