J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 2007 Feb;33(1):95-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1447-0756.2007.00488.x.

Abstract

Only two cases of recurrence of heterologous carcinosarcoma from adenocarcinoma of the ovary have been documented in the published literature. We report a case of serous ovarian carcinoma recurring as a heterologous carcinosarcoma. The immunohistochemical analysis of several biological parameters in primary ovarian adenocarcinoma and recurrent carcinosarcoma has been also performed.
