Carcinosarcoma of the uterus, also known as malignant mixed mullerian tumour (MMMT) is a very rare and aggressive gynaecological neoplasm, having an overall poor prognosis. They can arise in any organ of the female genital tract but are most commonly found in uterus. They are histologically biphasic having malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. We report a case of uterine MMMT, clinically presenting as uterine polyp, in a postmenopausal female.Downloads
