Popis: Ovarian carcinosarcoma is also referred to as malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT). It is a rare neoplasm, and although it represents less than 5% of malignant ovarian tumors, it remains generally well-known among clinicians and pathologists. Rarer yet is ovarian teratoid carcinosarcoma, defined as carcinosarcoma with the added feature of immature neuroectodermal tissue, with or without elements of primitive germ cell tumor. To our knowledge, six ovarian teratoid carcinosarcomas have been reported in the literature [Matsuura et al. J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 2010 Aug; 36(4): 907–11]. These tumors resemble nasopharyngeal tumors of the same name. We report a 55-year-old woman seen at Orlando Health’s division of gynecological oncology whose pathology showed ovarian teratoid carcinosarcoma, and present what we believe to be a seventh report of this entity.
