Abstract
|
|
|
Background : Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare and bizarre neoplasm with divergent
differentiation. It is a squamous cell carcinoma with spindle cell and giant cell
component and may be misinterpreted as a sarcoma. Because of its rarity, its diagnosis,
optimum treatment, and prognosis remain controversial. Case : A 60-year-old male
presented with an enlarging fist-sized right neck mass which developed 1.5 year after
radiation therapy for the laryngeal cancer. Pathology revealed a mixture of malignant
squamous and spindle cells with positive immunohistochemical staining for vimentin,
myoglobin and desmin, but negative reaction for cytokeratin. Conclusion : We
experienced a case of sarcomatous carcinoma in the neck which developed after radiation
therapy for the laryngeal cancer.
