Carcinosarcomas are rare malignant tumors most commonly occurring in the female reproductive organs, lower urinary tract, head and neck, and respiratory tract. This uncommon tumor is characterized by mixture of malignant epithelial and spindle cell components. Their final diagnosis is achived based on its distinct histological features combinded with thorough inmmunohistochemical characterizaion. Development of immunohistochemistry and electronic microscope make it possible to demonstrate these two components. In the gatrointesinal tract, the esophagus is the most common site, but the stomach is very rare. We report a carcinosarcoma aring in the stomach, with literature review.
