Abstract
Los carcinosarcomas uterinos son carcinomas indiferenciados raros y extremadamente agresivos que incluyen elementos carcinomatosos y sarcomatosos. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 61 años que presentó sangrado genital irregular de varios meses de evolución. La ecografía y tomografía computarizada mostraron una gran masa uterina con adenopatías metastásicas regionales. Realizado el procedimiento quirúrgico, la pieza operatoria confirmó la presencia de Carcinosarcoma uterino y la paciente fue derivada al servicio de Oncología Clínica y Radioterapia para su tratamiento adyuvante.
Uterine carcinosarcomas are rare and extremely aggressive undifferentiated carcinomas that include carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. We present the case of a 61-year-old woman who presented irregular genital bleeding for several months. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed a large uterine mass with regional and distant metastatic lymphadenopathy. The operative specimen confirmed the presence of uterine carcinosarcoma and the patient was referred to the Clinical Oncology and Radiotherapy service for adjuvant treatment.
