Abstract
|
|
|
Adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung is a rare disease entity and its clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis are poorly described. Stage I disease are amenable to operation as in bronchogenic carcinoma of non-small cell type, but stage
III
adenosquamous carcinoma shows highly aggressive behavior with rapid progression. We have experienced a case of stage III adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung in a 38-year-old male with a large mass in the right upper lobe with multiple metastasis
in
the
mediastinal lymph nodes. Interestingly, all of the metastatic lymph nodes proved to be adenous component histologically. After right pneumonectomy and extensive lymph node dissection, the patient had received one cycle of chemotherapy. However,
clinical
signs of distant metastasis to bone and brain were discovered within 5 months postoperatively.
