Sarcomatoid carcinomas of the lung are uncommon neoplasms; the concurrent presence of malignant epithelial and sarcomatoid spindle cell components show a high malignancy. Lymph node metastases at presentation is an important prognostic factor, on the other way the most patients with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung usually presented at an advanced stage that needed a complementary therapy. The Authors report about one surgical case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma recently observed without lymph node metastases; the literature is reviewed and the histogenesis is discussed.
肺肉瘤样癌是罕见的肿瘤；恶性上皮成分和肉瘤样梭形细胞成分同时存在显示出高度恶性。就诊时出现淋巴结转移是一个重要的预后因素，另一方面，大多数肺肉瘤样癌患者通常在晚期就诊，需要辅助治疗。作者报告了近期观察到的一例无淋巴结转移的肺肉瘤样癌手术病例；并对文献进行了综述，讨论了组织发生学。
