ABSTRACT

@#Carcinosarcoma is a rare neoplasm that most commonly affects the uterus. In the pancreas, fewer than thirty cases are reported worldwide. We present a 47-year-old female with epigastric pain, and jaundice. Histopathology revealed a pancreatic head mass showing a biphasic tumor composed of seventy percent Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, and thirty percent High Grade Sarcoma with immunohistochemistry using Pancytokeratin, Vimentin, Desmin, S-100, Smooth Muscle Actin, CD34, and Ki-67.
