Uterine carcinosarcoma (USC) is a rare, aggressive primary neoplasm of the Uterus that represents less than 5% of all uterine malignancies. It usually affects older females in their seventh decade. USC disproportionally affects black women more and it has a worse prognosis than other endometrial carcinomas.We present a case of uterine carcinosarcoma in a young Caucasian female who presented with vague symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and severe iron deficiency anemia.
子宫癌肉瘤(USC)是一种罕见的、侵袭性的子宫原发性肿瘤,占所有子宫恶性肿瘤的比例不到5%。它通常影响70岁左右的老年女性。子宫癌肉瘤对黑人女性的影响尤为严重,且其预后比其他子宫内膜癌更差。我们报告一例年轻白人女性子宫癌肉瘤病例,该患者出现恶心、呕吐及严重缺铁性贫血等模糊症状。
