title: [A carcinosarcoma of the ovary: a case report and a review].
abstract: A carcinosarcoma of the ovary, which is a combined epithelial and mesenchymal tumor, is exceeding rare and usually has poor prognosis. Only four known cases, including this case, have been reported in Japan. In our case, after resection a combined chemotherapy consisting of cisplatinum, adriamycin cyclophosphamide and etoposide was administered and the patient had no uneventful postsurgical course.
