ABSTRACT: Carcinosarcoma of the
uterine cervix are very rare malignancy of the female reproductive tract with
poor prognosis. Only fifty cases have been reported in literature until 2013. We
report a 49 years old Para 7 + 3 presenting with vaginal bleeding, offensive
discharge with intermittent abdominal pain. On examination an impression of a
cervical polyp was made. She had total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral
salpingoophorectomy. The histological diagnosis of carcinosarcoma of the
uterine cervix was made. She had chemoradiation therapy as adjuvant therapy in
view of the diagnosis. Although cancer of the cervix is the second commonest
cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer death in women, this
particular histological variant is very rare, as such no standard protocol of
management developed for it yet and it carries a very poor prognosis.
