Abstract

Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinomas are rare malignant tumors that account for 0.1 to 0.4% of all lung cancers. They are notable for their aggressive clinical behavior and poor prognosis. We report here on a patient who is alive and disease-free 12 years after receiving surgical treatment for the rib recurrence of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma.

폐에서 다형태 암종은 전체 폐암의 $0.1{\sim}0.4%$를 차지하는 매우 드문 악성 종양으로 나쁜 임상경과와 좋지 않은 예후로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 폐에 발생한 다형태 암종 치료 후 발생한 늑골전이에서 외과적 치료를 통해 12년의 무병 장기 생존을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.
