Sarcomatoid carcinoma (SC) is a rare and unique disease of the oral cavity. It is a biphasic squamous cell carcinoma with sarcoma-like characteristics. It is a strikingly aggressive lesion with a rapid rate of growth and a high rate of metastasis. Diagnosing a sarcomatoid carcinoma may present a challenge; most can only be ascertained by immunohistochemical study. An aggressive treatment plan should be devised for this uncompromising disease with a readiness to accept the dire outcome. We hereby present a case of a 50-year-old male patient, with no history of deleterious habit, diagnosed with SC of the buccal mucosa that proved to be fatal.
肉瘤样癌(SC)是一种罕见且独特的口腔疾病。它是一种具有肉瘤样特征的双相性鳞状细胞癌。它是一种极具侵袭性的病变,生长速度快且转移率高。诊断肉瘤样癌可能具有挑战性;大多数情况只能通过免疫组织化学研究来确定。对于这种毫不妥协的疾病,应制定积极的治疗方案,并做好接受严峻后果的准备。我们在此报告一例50岁男性患者,无有害习惯史,被诊断为颊黏膜肉瘤样癌,最终证明是致命的。
