title: Carcinosarcoma of the fallopian tube.
abstract: A patient with Stage III fallopian tube carcinosarcoma treated with cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, surviving 31 months disease-free after diagnosis, is presented. Review of the literature revealed this is the 28th case report of malignant mixed Mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube, and fifth instance in which chemotherapy was used as a primary therapy. Modern chemotherapy appears to have improved survival.
