We report a unique carcinosarcoma of the ovary having an organoid growth pattern that resembled immature teratoma. The tumor contained both adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma (focally sebaceous) admixed with chondrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and malignant neuroectodermal components. The neuroectodermal components were prominent, resembling ependymoblastoma, medulloepithelioma, ganglioneuroblastoma, glioblastoma multiforme, and pigmented neuroectodermal tumor. Immunohistochemical studies dramatically revealed carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma admixed with malignant neuroectodermal tumor. Implants of papillary serous carcinoma (with psammoma bodies) were present in the opposite ovary, uterine serosa, omentum, and appendiceal serosa. Although a variant not previously described in the ovary, this ovarian carcinosarcoma closely resembled nasopharyngeal tumors described as teratoid carcinosarcoma or terato-carcinosarcoma.

A carcinosarcoma is a rare form of cancer characterised by the presence of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Here, we present our experience with an extremely rare case of an uterine carcinosarcoma with immature teratoid-like differentiation. The patient was a woman in her 60s.

Unlabelled: Ovarian teratoid carcinosarcoma involves an epithelial tumor of the Müllerian duct and an immature neuroepithelium, which is a characteristic of immature teratomas. Here, we describe the case of a 60-year-old woman who underwent surgery for a stage IC3 ovarian malignancy. The tumor showed a variety of histological features, including clear cell carcinoma, immature teratoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma, and a PIK3CA mutation was detected at the same locus in each.

Sinonasal teratoid carcinosarcoma or teratocarcinoma is an extremely rare aggressive tumour. It usually arises in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In this study, the authors described magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography findings from a patient with sinonasal teratocarcinoma.

Ovarian carcinosarcoma is also referred to as malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT). It is a rare neoplasm, and although it represents less than 5% of malignant ovarian tumors, it remains generally well-known among clinicians and pathologists. Rarer yet is ovarian teratoid carcinosarcoma, defined as carcinosarcoma with the added feature of immature neuroectodermal tissue, with or without elements of primitive germ cell tumor.

Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTCS) is one of the rarest, aggressive malignant neoplasms of sinonasal tract, consisting of primitive neuroepithelial elements with various malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. Previously described as teratoid carcinosarcoma, malignant teratoma, or blastoma, SNTCS constitutes less than 1% of all cancers and approximately 3% of all malignancies of head and neck region, which is mainly located in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, although tumors occurring in other locations including the nasopharynx and oral cavity have been described. Here, we are presenting a 22-year-old patient with SNTCS involving the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and all paranasal sinuses with bilateral orbital and intracranial extension treated with surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
