Herein is presented a case of carcinosarcoma of the pancreas in an 82‐year‐old woman, analyzed on immunohistochemistry and K‐ras sequence. The tumor, which arose in the pancreas head, was removed on pancreaticoduodenectomy. The patient died, however, of disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrom...
