There are less than 100 cases reported in the English literature to date. Most of them were diagnosed by autopsy and surgery. Now we present a detailed report of a case with peripheral variant carcinosarcoma diagnosed by percutaneous needle biopsy under sonographic guidance. The clinical, pathologic and immunohistochemical hallmarks of this unique tumor are also reviewed.
