Abstract

Carcino-sarcoma is a malignant mixed mesodermal neoplasm accounting for less than 1% of all ovarian tumors. It is an aggressive tumor, composed of both malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. To the best of our knowledge, less than 400 cases of ovarian carcino-sarcomas have been reported in the literature and only 10% of them are bilateral. In this paper, we report a new case of unilateral ovarian carcino-sarcoma in a 20-year-old adolescent girl with the aim to analyze it with its possible differentials, treatment and prognosis due to rarity of its occurrence in young age.
