Endoscopy with pancreatic duct brushings yielded a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. A pancreaticoduodenectomy followed, with complete resection of the tumor. Pathologic examination showed 2 distinct components. One component was a conventional infiltrating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and the other component was high-grade sarcoma with features of malignant fibrous histiocytoma. To our knowledge, this carcinosarcoma is the seventh reported case of a primary pancreatic neoplasm with mixed carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5858\/2002-126-1114-cotp","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,29]],"date-time":"2021-01-29T04:46:10Z","timestamp":1611895570000},"page":"1114-1117","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Carcinosarcoma of the Pancreas"],"prefix":"10.5858","volume":"126","author":[{"given":"Farbod","family":"Darvishian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Pathology (Drs Darvishian, Teichberg, and Basham) and Surgery (Dr Sullivan), North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, NY"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Sullivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Pathology (Drs Darvishian, Teichberg, and Basham) and Surgery (Dr Sullivan), North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, NY"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saul","family":"Teichberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Pathology (Drs Darvishian, Teichberg, and Basham) and Surgery (Dr Sullivan), North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, NY"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Basham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Pathology (Drs Darvishian, Teichberg, and Basham) and Surgery (Dr Sullivan), North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, NY"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3906","reference":[{"key":"i1543-2165-126-9-1114-b1","series-title":"Am J Surg Pathol","first-page":"70","article-title":"Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm with sarcomatous stroma: a report of three cases.","volume":"21","author":"Wenig, B.
