Carcinosarcoma is a malignant mixed Müllerian tumor with a highly malignant, biphasic tumor consisting of both epithelial and mesenchymal components. A 59-year-old nulligravida came with postmenopausal bleeding. Hysteroscopy revealed highly vascular polypoidal mass with prominent vasculature. Gross examination of specimen showed a polypoid mass, occupying whole uterine cavity and invading more than half of myometrium. Immunohistochemical analysis showed epithelial component AE1/AE3 and stromal component desi and p16. Tumor cells were negative for ER. As carcinosarcoma is a highly aggressive less common variant of endometrial cancer, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are important to minimize morbidity and overall survival.
癌肉瘤是一种恶性混合性苗勒管肿瘤,是一种高度恶性的双相肿瘤,由上皮和间质成分组成。一名59岁未孕女性因绝经后出血前来就诊。宫腔镜检查发现高度血管化的息肉样肿物,血管十分明显。标本大体检查显示为息肉样肿物,占据整个子宫腔并侵犯超过一半的肌层。免疫组化分析显示上皮成分AE1/AE3及间质成分结蛋白和p16。肿瘤细胞雌激素受体(ER)呈阴性。由于癌肉瘤是子宫内膜癌一种侵袭性强且较罕见的变异类型,早期诊断和积极治疗对于降低发病率和提高总生存率至关重要。
