Serous ovarian carcinoma recurring as a heterologous carcinosarcoma.
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.
