Carcinosarcoma is an uncommon malignant biphasic tumor that accounts for less than 1% of all lung cancers. It is defined by coexisting histologic elements of carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. We report two cases of carcinosarcoma in a 68-year-old patient and a 78-year-old patient explored for lung masses. Macroscopically, the resected tumors were 7 and 10 cm in diameter. Histologically, they consisted in adenosquamous carcinoma with osteosarcoma in one case and adenocarcinoma with chondrosarcoma in the other case.
癌肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性双相肿瘤,占所有肺癌的比例不到 1%。它的定义是同时存在癌性和肉瘤性组织学成分。我们报告了两例发生在 68 岁和 78 岁患者身上的癌肉瘤病例,这些患者都是因为肺部肿块而就诊。大体上,切除的肿瘤直径分别为 7 厘米和 10 厘米。组织学上,一例为鳞腺癌伴骨肉瘤,另一例为腺癌伴软骨肉瘤。
