Abstract : Carcinosarcomas are rare, mixed, malignant neoplasms which are composed of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous ele ments, showing distinct immunohistochemical and ultra structural features.

We have reported a case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma which was diagnosed in our institute and have reviewed the epidemiology and the clinicopathological characteristics of all cases of carcinosarcoma of the pancreas which have been reported worldwide
