ABSTRACT
Carcinosarcoma, or true malignant mixed tumor of the salivary gland, is a very rare malignant tumor comprised of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements and accounts for only 0.04-0.16% of all salivary gland tumors. Carcinosarcoma usually occurs in the parotid gland. Other locations including submandibular gland, minor salivary gland, uterus, bladder or lung have been reported. We report a rare case of carcinosarcoma of the parotid gland in an 85-year-old female. The tumor was large, about 19x17 cm in size, and was successfully excised.
