Abstract

The carcinosarcoma is a mixed tumour composed of epithelial and mesenchymatous malignant tissus. It can occur on the level of all the female genital tract, most frequently the uterus. The ovarian localization is rare. The purpose of our work is to discuss the problems of differential diagnosis raised by this rare entity. We report the case of a 60 years old patient, who consulted for an abdominal mass of 20 cm. Tomodensitometry of the abdomen and the pelvic had objectified the right ovarian origin. The patient was treated by total colpohysterectomy with bilateral annexectomy. Through this case with review of the literature we shall discuss the histogenetic assumptions of this entity which are the object of controversies as well as the prognosis and therapeutic implications.
