[A resected case of so-called carcinosarcoma of the lung which was diagnosed as diaphragmatic tumor].
A 64-year-old male complained of right hypochondralgia and was admitted to our hospital. A large tumor (10 x 15 x 10 cm) of the right diaphragm was detected involving the middle and lower lobe of the lung. Microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations showed that bronchiolo-alveolar cell carcinoma was interposed in the sarcoma-like lesion, and this tumor was diagnosed as a so-called carcinosarcoma of the lung.
