Abstract：Carcinosarcoma of the female genital tract is a rare but highly aggressive,easily recurrent malignancy with poor prognosis.Pathologically,carcinosarcoma is a biphasic neoplasm composed of a mixture of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components.Studies have indicated that most carcinosarcomas are essentially high-grade carcinomas with sarcomatous differentiation,which derive from a monoclonal neoplasm.A comprehensive approach to management is recommended with complete surgery,followed by multimodal therapy with combinations of external beam irradiation and/or systematic chemotherapy in patients with both early and advanced stage disease.
