Carcinosarcoma of the Pancreas: A Rare Type of Pancreatic Neoplasia

Carcinosarcoma of the pancreas is a rare type of pancreatic neoplasm, and only a few cases have been described in the literature. This tumor is characterized by distinct biphasic histopathology consisting of carcinomatous and sarcomatous component. We present a case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma in a patient who underwent successful resection but was found to have metastatic disease on follow up. Based on the very limited number of reported cases, the prognosis of carcinosarcoma of the pancreas appears poor.
