ABSTRACT

Background: The carcinosarcoma, or Mixed Mullerian Malign Tumors, represent 1% of malignant ovarian neoplasm, they are formed by a component epithelium and another mesenquimal malignant both.
Objective: Report the experience of the Ginecological Department of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (Mexico) in the treatment of patients with ovarian carcinosarcoma or primary malignant of the ovary.
Methods: A retrospective of 8 cases of carcinosarcoma primary of ovary at National Institute of Cancerology, from January, 2005 to December, 2008.
Results: The carcinosarcoma or Mixed Mullerian Malign Tumors appeared in 4.1 % of all the malignant primary tumors of ovary, the clinical initial presentation was with pain and abdominal expansion both in 62.5 % and mass palpable and bled vaginal in 25 % of the patients. In 2/8 (25%) patients there was achieved a residual tumor minor of 1cm, in 4/8 (50%) cases one administered chemotherapy. In 3/8 (37.5%) they were kept free of disease in the follow-up of 42 months, 1/8 (12.5%) with stable disease and 4/8 (50%) they died for disease.
Conclusions: Ovarian carcinosarcoma is a rare tumor, the clinical of this neoplasm is aggressive, usually presenting in advanced stages, with a poor prognosis with existing medical treatment.
