Publication Carcinosarcoma of the Cervix: A Case Report Authors(Nepal Medical Association, 2021) Bhagat, Birendra; Aacharya, Bijaya Chandra; Gurung, Sarita; Bhatta, Ranjan Raj; Rajbhandari, AasiyaAbstract: Cervical carcinoma is the most common cause of mortality due to cancer in Nepal. Carcinosarcoma is a very rare subtype of cervical cancer which is characterized by the presence of both epithelial and mesenchymal malignant component. It constitutes less than 1% of cervical carcinoma. Due to the low occurrence of the disease, most of the data on treatment and prognosis are based on case reports and series. Here, we report a case of 69 years, female with cervical cancer (FIGO IIA2). Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of cervical biopsy initially showed primary adenosarcoma of the cervix. The tumor was non-responsive to primary treatment with concurrent chemoradiation. Later she was treated with abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The final histopathology of the resected specimen showed a sarcomatous component along with carcinomatous changes in the endocervical glands favouring the diagnosis of carcinosarcoma of the cervix.
