Carcinosarcoma is a type of malignant tumor that contains both carcinomatous (cancerous epithelial) and sarcomatous (cancerous connective tissue) components. It is characterized by the presence of both types of cancer cells, which can make it more aggressive and challenging to treat compared to tumors that consist of only one type of cancerous tissue. Carcinosarcomas can occur in various organs, commonly in the uterus, and their behavior and treatment depend on the specific characteristics of the tumor.
