Abstract
A second case of true carcinosarcoma of the colon is reported. A 79-year-old women was diagnosed as having an obstructing tumour of the caecum and liver metastases in both lobes. Histological examination of operative specimen from a right hemicolectomy revealed malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. Despite postoperative chemotherapy, the patient died of liver failure resulting from extensive metastatic growth.
