Primary Carcinosarcoma of Ovary with Lung Metastasis in a Young Female: A Rare Case Report

2016 
Primary ovarian carcinosarcomas are rare tumors and account for 1-3% of all ovarian tumors. These tumors mainly affect post-menopausal women, with only 10% incidence in younger women. Ovarian cancer primarily spread to the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, bladder, liver and spleen. They rarely metastasize to distant sites such as supraclavicular lymph nodes, bone, lung or the brain. The ovarian carcinosarcomas are very aggressive in nature with a poor prognosis. We report a rare case of primary carcinosarcoma of ovary with metastasis to the lung in a 22 year old female with review of literature.
