Pulmonary carcinosarcoma: a case report

Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm of the salivary glands and is most commonly located in the parotis followed by the submandibular glands. its localization in the minor salivary glands is mostly reported in the palate. Few publications report pleomorphic adenoma cases located in the lip.We present a 35-year-old male patient with a pleomorphic adenoma located in the upper lip.

Carcinosarcoma of the Mediastinum: A Rare Cause of Vocal Cord Palsy and Progressive Dysphagia

“…This differentiation can help clinicians to establish possible differential diagnosis. Carcinosarcomas are rare, biphasic tumours that have both malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements such as cartilage, bone or skeletal muscle 2 , 3 . This uncommon type of malignancy can occur in any part of the body but mediastinal localization is even more rare 4 .…”

Imaging findings of pulmonary carcinosarcoma: A case report

“…[23] Pulmonary carcinosarcoma contains mixture of malignant epithelial and sarcomatous mesenchymal elements such as cartilage, bone or skeletal muscle. [45] It accounts for 0.3–1.3% of all lung tumors. [6] It occurs in elderly age mostly in 6th and 7 th decade and is four times more common in males.…”

“…[6] It occurs in elderly age mostly in 6th and 7 th decade and is four times more common in males. [5] There is strong association of this tumor in heavy smokers. [67] Prognosis of sarcomatoid carcinomas is worse than the bronchogenic carcinoma due to their rapid growth, invasive nature and early metastatic spread and, hence, need for their early diagnosis andtimely treatment.…”
