Rare care of coexisting primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma and carcinosarcoma

Abstract

Abstract: [Summary] Carcinosarcoma, also referred to as spindle cell sarcoma, is defined as a malignant neoplasm that is composed of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components.The occurrence of carcinosarcoma in the tongue is extremely rare, approximately 1% of head and neck tumor. Herein, we reported a case of carcinosarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma coexisting in the tongue. And review of literature was discussed on clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment and prognosis of carcinomatous and squamous cell carcinoma.

Key words: Carcinosarcoma, Tongue, Squamous cell carcinoma
