Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare biphasic tumor characterized by a combination of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The known characteristics are rapid growth, a high recurrence rate, and an extremely poor prognosis. This type of tumor is also uncommon but has been found in several anantomical sites: female genital tract, skin, gastro-intestinal tract, heptatobiliary system, head, neck, respiratory system, and urinary tract. However, solitary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the neck area is rare. Here, we report a patient who presented an extremely aggressive solitary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the neck.
