Abstract
Mesonephric carcinoma of the uterine corpus is an extremely rare malignancy that originates from the mesonephric remnant of the female reproductive tract. There have been no previous reports of mesonephric carcinoma accompanied by a sarcomatous component. The current study presents two cases of uterine corpus mesonephric carcinoma with sarcomatous components that occurred in postmenopausal women. Immunohistochemically, the tumour cells were positive for vimentin and CD10. The tumours of these patients were located in the uterine myometrium; therefore, treatment was similar to that for endometrial cancer. Although the follow‑up period was short in the current cases, no metastatic disease was identified in the second case and thus, this may increase clinical knowledge with regard to the biological behavior of these rare malignancies.
