Carcinosarcoma (CS), also known as metaplastic breast carcinoma with mesenchymal differentiation, is one of the five distinct subtypes of metaplastic breast cancer. It is considered as a mixed, biphasic neoplasm consisting of a carcinomatous component combined with a malignant nonepithelial element of mesenchymal origin without an intermediate transition zone. Although cellular origin of this neoplasm remains controversial, most researchers declare that neoplastic cells derive from a cellular structure with potential biphasic differentiation.

New diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have been increasingly demanded due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with breast cancer. Recently, changes in the collagen fibres in mammary neoplasms have been shown to provide information that can be helpful for more accurate diagnosis. We aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the tumour stroma in human and canine mammary neoplasms to assess the relationship between collagen modifications and the behaviour of carcinomas in both species, by multiphoton microscopy.

Ovarian carcinosarcoma in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is rare. A 43-year-old woman with a family history of prostate and uterine or ovarian cancer had an 8-cm mass in the right ovary. Although computed tomography suggested peritoneal dissemination to the Douglas pouch, she wanted to preserve her fertility; therefore, she underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy.

Distant metastasis to the spleen is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, metastasis to the accessory spleen based on pathological findings has only been reported in four patients in the English literature, including one each of ovarian cancer, transitional cell carcinoma, breast cancer, and uterine carcinosarcoma after surgery. Furthermore, among these reported cases, only two reports (one each of transitional cell carcinoma and uterine carcinosarcoma) presented imaging findings.
