title: [Carcinosarcomas of the lung].
abstract: The authors analysed the literature on pulmonary carcinosarcomas and described two own observations of this rare pathology. The predominant occurrence of this tumor in men of 40-65 years, rapid development of the process, frequent asymptomatic course and late surgical help are noted. Clinico-anatomical manifestations of pulmonary carcinosarcomas are nonspecific. Their histological structure is variable and depends on the nature of tissue components involved in the neoplastic process. The authors emphasize a great diagnostic value of prophylactic fluorographic examinations of the population.
