“…Völker et al (8) proposed that carcinosarcomas may originate from a common pluripotent progenitor cell that is capable of undergoing epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation. Perret et al (9) proposed that certain carcinosarcomas should be regarded as a variant of sarcomatoid carcinoma (metaplastic carcinoma) that shows prominent heterologous differentiation.…”

“…In the present case, due to the age of the patient and the history of previous pelvic surgery, a laparoscopic radical resection of the right kidney and ureter was performed. Previous studies have reported very poor prognoses for carcinosarcoma, with a median cancer-specific survival time of approximately one year (6,9,20). One half of patients are reported to succumb within approximately one year of diagnosis.…”

Diagnosis and treatment of carcinosarcoma of the renal pelvis: A case report

et al. 2014

Carcinosarcoma is a rare type of renal pelvis malignancy, the diagnosis of which requires the presence of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. The prognosis of this disease is extremely poor due to its rapid progression and widespread metastases. The present study describes a case of carcinosarcoma involving the right renal pelvis in a 73-year-old female who presented with intermittent hematuria and right-flank pain that had persisted for one month. Computed tomography revealed a 2.4×2.5 cm mass in the right renal pelvis, which was diagnosed as a right renal pelvic tumor. Laparoscopic radical resection of the right kidney and ureter was performed. Following surgery, immunohistochemical analysis showed positive reactions for epithelial and mesenchymal markers. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with carcinosarcoma. Thus, immunohistochemical analysis is a critical method for the accurate diagnosis of carcinosarcoma.

Carcinosarcoma of the bladder is an unusual tumour characterized by a combination of malignant epithelial and soft tissue elements. Most of the reported cases have been case reports or small series. Optimal treatment is uncertain. We herein report our experience in such a case treated with transurethral resection followed by radiotherapy with adverse final outcome. Treatment of bladder carcinosarcomas should be aggressive and multimodal but optional treatment is still unknown. Radiotherapy alone is insufficient as a treatment option of these aggressive tumors.

“…Ever since first described in 1865, this kind of tumor has been reported in almost every organ such as breast, urinary bladder, uterus, liver, larynx, gallbladder, lungs and skin (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). However, controversy in its pathogenesis and treatment still remains.…”

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a biphasic neoplasm composed of highly complex, intimately admixed malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements. We herein report a rare case of cutaneous metastasis of pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma that contains liposarcomatous, rhabdosarcomatous and chondrosarcomatous heterologous differentiation, and review relevant literatures to lead to a better understanding of this rare but highly aggressive tumor.
