Carcinoma7
A carcinosarcoma neoplasm is a biphasic tumor in which the carcinomatous component is usually a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, an undifferentiated carcinoma, or a squamous cell. (medscape.com)
The mixed-type is further classified as carcinoma with chondroid metaplasia, carcinoma with osseous metaplasia, and carcinosarcoma. (wikipedia.org)
The coexistence of carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements within the same tumor is a rare entity, variably labeled as "carcinosarcoma", "metaplastic carcinosarcoma", "sarcomatoid carcinoma", "pseudosarcomatous carcinoma", "carcinoma with mesenchymal stroma", "carcinoma with sarcomatoid change", "spindle cell carcinoma", "pleomorphic anaplastic carcinoma" and "small cell carcinoma"[1]. (klinikitsekoura.gr)
