Malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the uterus, also called carcinosarcoma, is a very rare and aggressive type of malignancy with epithelial and mesenchymal component. It can occur anywhere along the female genital tract, like uterus, ovary, fallopian tube, cervix. Uterus is the commonest site, representing less than 5% of uterine malignancy. Here we presenting a case of 65 yr old postmenopausal women admitted to hospital with complain of vaginal discharge from 2 month duration. Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy remain the mainstay of treatment , high rate of recurrence and metastasis suggest a need for lymphadenectomy and post operative adjuvant treatment.
