The incidence rate of UCS was growing substantially, and the survival outcomes for women were worse than those for endometrial cancer or even uterine sarcoma. UCS will have better prognosis when diagnosed and treated properly and early. Ultrasound is the firstline diagnostic modality for the assessment ofUCS and preoperatively, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an essential role as main imaging and staging methods [3–5] . In this paper,  \nwe wanted to present 2 uterine carcinosarcoma instances that were examined using ultrasound and MRI.  \nCases description  \nCase 1  \nA 56-year-old G1P1 female who had experienced excessive, irregular vaginal bleeding for 2 months admitted to the hospital.
