Abstract :

 The east carcinosarcoma, often referred to as metaplastic east carcinoma, is a rare malignant tumor composed of two

distinct cell lines and is described as ductal east cancer with a sarcoma–like component. It accounts for less than 1% of
all malignant east tumors. This is a retrospective study spread over one year, thirteen cases of east carcinosarcomas were collected at the
Moulay Ismail military hospital in Morocco during the year 2014. The median age was 53.46 years, all the tumors were high grade. The proposed
treatment was based on east surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy for adjuvant cases, lymph node involvement was noted in two
cases, estrogen receptors were negative, while progesterone receptors were positive in 3 cases, the expression of Her2 was absent in all cases.
Metaplastic east cancer is a rare subtype of east cancer that has a particular and aggressive profile; it often has a triple negative character. There
is a need to develop other researchs pathways such as targeting the HER1 / EGFR Receptor.
