DNA Mismatch Repair–deficient Endometrial Carcinosarcomas Portend Distinct Clinical, Morphologic, and Molecular Features Compared With Traditional Carcinosarcomas

Abstract excerpt

Uterine carcinosarcomas (UCSs) are aggressive neoplasms composed of high-grade malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements with most (∼90%) showing TP53 abnormalities. A subset, however, shows mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D). We sought to describe their clinical, morphologic, and molecular features. Clinicopathologic data of MMR-D UCSs were recorded including age, stage, follow-up, mismatch repair and p53...
