Cervical polyp: an unusual presentation of carcinosarcoma

Abstract

Cervical carsinosarcomas are rare neoplasms of the female genital tract. Approximately 35 cases have been reported previously.¹ The other name for carcinosarcoma is a malignant mixed mullerian tumour. Usually, this occurs in the uterus, but it can also appear in the ovaries or the cervix.² Cervical primaries are extremely rare, and typically occur in postmenopausal women presenting with a polypoid or pedunculated cervical mass. We present this rare entity for gynaecologists to consider, namely the diagnosis of carcinosarcoma in a cervical mass in a postmenopausal woman.
