A rare malignant periurethral carcinosarcoma with aggressive behavior: A case treated with a multimodal treatment approach

Carcinosarcoma is an aggressive tumor that can develop in any organ but is rarely observed in the urinary tract. Given the radioresistant nature of carcinosarcoma and the rapidly regrowing tumor after primary surgery, carcinosarcomas that developed in the body showed poor outcomes regardless of aggr...
