Article Abstract
Carcinosarcoma is a rare biphasic malignancy consisting of intermixed epithelial and mesenchymal elements. Carcinosarcoma is particularly rare among children. We accepted a 7 year old patient with retroperitoneal carcinosarcoma. The tumor was totally resected and no recurrence is found 11 months after operation. Literatures has been reviewed and there are few reports of primary retroperitoneal carcinosarcoma in children up to date. So we report the patient's clinical character, surgical resection, pathological and immunohistochemical analysis.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of synchronous or metachronous hematologic and gynecologic malignancies. The medical database of the pathology department at a tertiary center was searched from 2016 to 2024 for cases involving both hematologic and gynecologic tumors. A literature search using Google Scholar and PubMed was also conducted between May and June 2024.

We present a case of retroperitoneal carcinosarcoma. A 48-year-old woman with left-sided abdominal pain and a 15 cm tumor in the lower left renal retroperitoneal region on computed tomography (CT) was referred to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced CT showed a well-defined tumor with contrast effect on the retroperitoneum.

To investigate the risk factors for occult omental metastasis and the effect of omentectomy on the survival of type 2 endometrial cancer (EC) patients. This study enrolled patients who were diagnosed with high-risk (grade 3, serous, clear cell, undifferentiated, carcinosarcoma, or mixed type) EC between 2000 and 2021 and underwent surgery in our center. Data from 482 patients were analyzed retrospectively.

Article Synopsis
- Advanced malignancies in the lower abdomen can invade surrounding spaces and metastasize to lymph nodes, leading to complex cases of paraaortic and pelvic tumors (PPT).
- A study presents 7 cases over 16 years where aggressive resection of malignant PPTs was performed alongside synthetic arterial graft (SAG) reconstruction of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries.
- The outcomes show that this surgical approach is safe, effective in achieving clear margins, maintains patency of grafts long-term, and demonstrates promising long-term oncological results, suggesting its viability in managing malignant PPTs.
