The Ovarian Carcinosarcoma also known as malignant mixed Müllerian tumor is a rare malignant neoplasm that histologically contain both epithelial and stromal components. This aggressive tumor is found not only in the ovary but also in other organs of the genito-urinary tract, including uterus. It is usually diagnosed at older age and advanced stage. The Ovarian Carcinosarcoma patients have very poor prognosis. Surgical treatment is a determining factor for the survival of patients. The response rate to chemotherapy is about 20 %. We illustrate the article with a clinical case reporting the positive diagnosis of ovarian carcinosarcoma.
We illustrate a rare association of a primitive cancer of the breast and the lung primitive cancer by the case of a 67-year-old woman, a fortuitous discovery during a balance sheet operating meadow in particular of extension of a nodule of the left breast classified radiologically BIRADS 4.
This exceptional known association imposes a search for the genetic factors, and the factors which favor the arisen of the cancer. But especially, she requires a multidisciplinary coverage seen the difficulty of the therapeutic decision.
