Abstract
Carcinosarcoma is a very rare type of a tumor and tends to occur in the proximal part of the digestive tract. We present an extremely rare case of a carcinosarcoma of the rectum with closed perforation and abscess formation. An 86 year-old woman was operated on with the diagnosis of intraabdominal abscess and a low anterior resection and a Hartmann procedure was performed. Histopathological diagnosis of the tumor was carcinosarcoma. No adjuvant therapy was suggested by our oncology department because of the advanced age and comorbid cardiac and respiratory illnesses of the patient

Abstract
Karsinosarkoma oldukça nadir görülen agresif seyirli bir tümördür. Genellikle sindirim sisteminin proksimal kısmında görülürler. Bu vaka takdiminde kapalı perforasyon ve intraabdominal apse oluşturmuş rektum proksimaline yerleşik tümöru olan 85 yaşında bir bayan hastayı sunmaktayız. Low anterior rezeksiyon-Hartman prosedürü uygulanan hastanın histopatolojik incelemesi sonucu karsinosarkoma olduğu görülmüştür. Onkoloji bölümü hastaya yaş, kardiak ve solunum sorunları sebebiyle adjuvan tedavi vermeyi uygun bulmamıştır
