Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma in a renal transplant recipient.
Sarcomatoid carcinomas (SC) are rare malignancies with concomitant occurrence of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Although it may occur throughout the body, lungs are only very rarely involved. We present the first documented case of pulmonary SC (PSC) in a renal transplant recipient, and discuss clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, treatment, and outcome.
