Introduction
Carcinosarcoma (CS) is a tumor with components: epithelial (carcinomatous) and mesenchymal (sarcomatous), developing in the mechanism of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. It is known that the p53 defect is a frequent finding in a carcinosarcoma in different anatomical locations, additionally, in a subgroup of uterine CS MMR defect plays a role in the pathogenesis. The aim of this paper was to investigate the frequency of MMR and p53 aberrations in extrauterine CS.

Material and methods
Twenty eight extrauterine CS from the lung (n = 8), breast (n = 6), head and neck (n = 5), ovary (n = 3), urinary bladder (n = 3), adrenal gland (n = 1), skin (n = 1), and stomach (n = 1) were stained for hMLH1, PMS2, hMSH2, hMSH6 and p53. The pattern of expression was evaluated separately in carcinomatous and sarcomatous component.

Results
Immunostainings for hMLH1, PMS2, hMSH2 and hMSH6 were positive in all tumors. p53 defect was observed in 19 out of 28 samples (67.85%). In all cases except one (96.42%) there was a concordance between sarcomatoid and carcinomatous components.

Conclusions
MMR deficiency does not seem to play a role in the pathogenesis of extrauterine CS. p53 aberrant expression is frequent and almost always consistent in carcinomatous and sarcomatous component.
