A case of primary endobronchial carcinosarcoma with predominant spindle cell squamous carcinoma is described. The spindle cell component has not been previously reported as occurring in pulmonary carcinosarcomas. We suggest that this variety of carcinosarcoma closely resembles sarcoma of the lung histologically and emphasize that a distinction between the two neoplasms is important in view of the generally good prognosis of endobronchial carcinosarcomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
