title: Carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: A carcinosarcoma is a rare type of gallbladder malignancy, the diagnosis of which requires the presence of both malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. The prognosis of this disease is extremely poor because it normally presents at advanced stages.We are reporting a case of carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder in a 45 year-old woman who was treated by cholecystectomy, as the tumour was confined to the gall bladder only.
