Overview

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is a rare type of non-small cell lung cancer. On the basis of histopathological features, sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung can be classified into 5 subtypes: pleomorphic carcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma, giant cell carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, and pulmonary blastoma.

Classification

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung can be classified according to WHO classification into 5 subtypes:[1][2]

  • Pleomorphic carcinoma
  • Spindle cell carcinoma
  • Giant cell carcinoma
  • Carcinosarcoma
  • Pulmonary blastoma

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung can also be classified according to their location including:[2]

  • Central
