    Abstract

    Uterine carcinosarcoma is an infrequent, yet an invasive malignant tumor of the uterus. We presented the case of a 76-year-old menopausal woman with the first sparse bleeding and ultrasound findings of a large polypoid formation filling the uterine cavity. Ultrasound, specially more advanced techniques as 3D ultrasound and 3D Color Doppler ultrasound provide very useful data not only in the recognition of tumor mass, but also in terms of the structure, differentiation and stage of the malignancy.
