The detailed information of therapy and imaging evidences of morphology, histology, and immunohistochemistry are fully provided. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth reported case of a primary splenic carcinosarcoma and even the first case to be described with local invasion in the mongoloid. Carcinosarcoma that develops in the spleen with local invasion is extremely rare.
