Amaresh Aruni*

Oesophageal carcinosarcoma is a rare oesophageal cancer, expressing both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. We report a 60-year male presenting with progressive dysphagia and endoscopic biopsy revealed leiomyosarcoma and underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy, gastric conduit and cervical anastomosis, final histopathology revealed carcinosarcoma. Post-operatively received adjuvant chemo radiation and at 3 months follow-up developed dysphagia due to anastomotic stricture managed with endoscopic dilatation. At 12 months follow up patient is asymptomatic and no radiological evidence of recurrence.
