SarcomatoidCarcinomas Dr. Serpil Dizbay Sak
A group of poorly differantiated non-small cell lung carcinomas • Common denominator • Sarcoma or sarcoma like differentiation
Epithelial Squamous cells Glands Indiffferentiated epithelial cells Small neuroendocrine cells Non-epithelial Spindle cells Giant cells Sarcoma component Muscle Bone Cartilage Morphologic components in lung carcinomas
Non-epithelial components in lung carcinoma • Described by Kika (1908) • Barbarkos (1985): 49 cases
Terminology • sarcomatoid carcinoma • pleomorphic carcinoma • giant cell carcinoma • spindle cell carcinoma • biphasick lung tumor • pseudosarcomatous carcinoma • carcinosarcoma • pseudosarcoma • ...............
I. Epithelial tumors Benign Displasia-carcinoma in situ C. Malignant 1.Squamous cell ca. -spindle cell carcinoma 4. Large cell ca. -giant cell carcinoma II.Tumors of the soft tissue III.Mesothelial tumors IV. Miscelleneous tumors 1.carcinosarcoma 2.pulmonary blastoma 3........... WHO (1981)
Pleomorphic sarcomatoid ve sarcomatous elemanlar içeren carcinomas (WHO 99) a. Carcinomas with spindle and/or giant cells 1.pleomorphic carcinoma 2.spindle cell carcinoma 3.giant cell carcinoma b.carcinosarcoma c.pulmonary blastoma
sarcomatoid carcinoma (WHO 2004) • pleomorphic carcinoma • spindle cell carcinoma • giant cell carcinoma • carcinosarcoma • pulmonary blastoma
General features Age:60 M/F:4/1 Pulmonary blastoma: M/F:1/1 Fourth decade Smoking Asbestosis Epidemiological and Ethiological Features
sarcomatoid carcinomas: rare tumors • Within all lung carcinomas • 0.3- 1.3 % • A spindle cell tumor in lung • Most likely a sarcomatoid carcinoma
sarcomatoid carcinoma (WHO 2004) • pleomorphic carcinoma • spindle cell carcinoma • giant cell carcinoma • carcinosarcoma • pulmonary blastomaa
Ankara University School of Medicine 2000-2006 March • 26 cases • 23M; 3F • Age: 43-78 • 61.1
Epithelial component adenocarcinoma: 12 squamous: 8 large cell: 2 sarcomatoid component giant cell:15 spindle:18 26 cases
26 Cases • 1: single component (giant cell) • 19: two components • 5: three components • 1: four componets
Typical cells of sarcomatoid carcinoma • spindle cells • giant cells • These cells should be malignant!!

sarcomatoid carcinoma (WHO 2004) • pleomorphic carcinoma • spindle cell carcinoma • giant cell carcinoma • carcinosarcoma • pulmonary blastoma
spindle cell carcinoma • A lung carcinoma with only spindle cells • Malignant spindle cells forming: • Cohesive islands • Fascicles • Storiform organization • A prominent lymphoplasmacytic infiltration • (Inflammotory sarcomatoid carcinoma Wick, 1995)
spindle cell carcinoma • Epithelial differentiation • Absent by HE • Can be demonstrated by • İmmunohistochemistry • EM
Inflammatory sarcomatoid carcinoma • Moderate pleomorphism • Spindle cells • Organization • Fascicular • Storiphorm • Can have mixoid areas
sarcomatoid carcinoma (WHO 2004) • pleomorphic carcinoma • spindle cell carcinoma • giant cell carcinoma • carcinosarcoma • pulmonary blastoma
giant cell carcinoma • pleomorphic mono/multinuclear giant cells • large, multilobulated, discohesive cells • No additional component
giant cell carcinoma • İnflammation with prominant neutrophile leucocytes • Within the tumor cells • Phagocytosis? • Emperipolesis?
sarcomatoid carcinoma (WHO 2004) • pleomorphic carcinoma • spindle cell carcinoma • giant cell carcinoma • carcinosarcoma • pulmonary blastomaa

carcinosarcoma • Sarcomatous component is more prominent in most cases: • carcinoma component must be searched • Sarcoma may consist of indifferantiated ‘spindle’ cells in most areas: • Differantiated sarcoma component must be searched
carcinosarcoma • In metastases • Both components • Or • carcinoma only • Sarcoma only
sarcomatoid carcinoma (WHO 2004) • pleomorphic carcinoma • spindle cell carcinoma • giant cell carcinoma • carcinosarcoma • pulmonary blastoma
