[Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma with rapid and peculiar metastases; report of a case].
A 54-year-old man was pointed out a mass shadow during treatment of suspected acute pyothorax. He was diagnosed as large cell carcinoma by transbronchial biopsy. Preoperative chemotherapy and right lower lobectomy were done. In pathological examination, he was diagnosed as pulmonary pleomorpic carcinoma. Postoperatively, he had rapid metastases of the pancreas, skin, muscle, brain and oral cavity. We reported a case of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma with rapid and peculiar metastases.
