Abstract

Carcinosarcoma of the lung is an admixture of cardinomatous and sarcomatous lesion and accounts for 0.3% of all pulmonary neoplasm. Clinicopathological features are often related to anatomical location : central endobronchial type and peripheral parenchymal type. Noninvasive diagnostic tests had a low yield in detection carcinosarcoma. Metastasis to regional lymph nodes and to distant organ is common. The prognosis is poor and the median survival is less than one year.Two cases of carcinosarcoma patients are reported here - one case is composed of undifferent cell carcinoma and spindle cell sarcoma in the male of 72 year old and the other case squamous cell carcinoma and spindle cell sarcoma in the male of 65 year old.
