Treatment of Carcinosarcoma of the Fallopian Tube Mimicking Ovarian Cancer: A Case Report and Genetic Analysis.

Carcinosarcoma of the fallopian tube is an exceptionally rare gynecological neoplasm. It tends to have high metastatic potential, to frequently recur, and has a poor prognosis. For these reasons, treatment is difficult and there is no standardized therapy schedule for this disease. Here, we report a case of carcinosarcoma of the fallopian tube mimicking ovarian cancer, initially presenting as a rupture of a growth and subsequent hemoperitoneum. The 55-year-old woman underwent cytoreductive surgery and postoperative conventional platinum-based combination therapy. The anti-angiogenic drug bevacizumab was added, and no evidence of disease was found on follow-up images or tumor markers 51 months after surgical resection. We describe a rare case of carcinosarcoma of the fallopian tube, include an in-depth histopathological review with genetic analysis, and propose treatment with a platinum-based combination therapy including bevacizumab.
