Abstract
BACKGROUND: The coexistence of multiple primary tumors in the female genital tract is very rare. Carcinosarcoma of the uterus is very rarely encountered among multiple genital malignancies. CASE: A 63-year-old woman presented with synchronous carcinosarcoma of the uterus and primary serous carcinoma of bilateral fallopian tubes. The diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically and immunohistochemically. CONCLUSION: This case is presented for its rarity and unique presentation. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first reported case of this unique combination of synchronous genital malignancies.
