ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Reportar un nuevo caso de carcinosarcoma prostático, un tumor infrecuente y agresivo localmente y a distancia. MÉTODO: Se ha analizado un único caso diagnosticado en nuestro Centro, desde el diagnóstico clínico y anatomopatológico hasta el éxitus, describiéndose los tratamientos recibidos por el mismo. RESULTADO: Paciente que presenta gran masa pélvica y una metástasis pulmonar que es sometido a cistoprostatectomia y ureterostomía cutánea bilateral con el diagnóstico de carcinosarcoma de próstata. Recibió 8 ciclos de Docetaxel objetivándose progresión ósea y posteriormente 3 ciclos de Doxorrubicina suspendiéndose por progresión. La supervivencia fue de 18 meses. CONCLUSIONES: El carcinosarcoma prostático es una neoplasia muy agresiva que no responde a los tratamientos habituales del cáncer de próstata

RESULT: Patient presented a huge pelvic mass and a pulmonary metastasis that was treated with cystoprostatectomy and bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy with the diagnosis of carcinosarcoma of the prostate. He received 8 cycles of Docetaxel with bone progression and then 3 cycles of doxorubicin, suspending treatment due to progression. The survival was 18 months. CONCLUSIONS: Prostate carcinosarcoma is a very aggressive neoplasia that does not respond to the usual treatments of prostate cancer
