Primary pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma is rare. It is generally regarded as an aggressive tumor. We report, to our best knowledge, the first case of pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma with extensive intracardiac spread. This case illustrated the misleading clinical features of this condition. Previous literature is also reviewed.
原发性肺肉瘤样癌很罕见。它通常被视为一种侵袭性肿瘤。据我们所知,我们报告了首例伴有广泛心脏内转移的肺肉瘤样癌病例。该病例说明了这种疾病具有误导性的临床特征。同时也对既往文献进行了回顾。
