Summary: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.
