[The diagnostic problem of uterine sarcomas: report on a case of carcinosarcoma mimicking a gastro-intestinal disease].
Uterine sarcomas are rare tumours with poor prognosis. The most common presenting symptoms are vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain. We present a case of uterine carcinosarcoma diagnosed retrospectively after surgical specimen analysis in a 69-year-old patient presenting gastro-intestinal complaints. At the time of diagnosis, the patient was in FIGO, stage IV.
