Abstract
Carcinosarcoma is an exceedingly rare and highly aggressive malignant tumor. Some patients with carcinosarcoma have normal levels of prostate specific antigen; therefore, digital rectal examination is the only method of early diagnosis in them. In this article, we report a case of prostate carcinosarcoma and describe its diagnosis and treatment.
