 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung CT manifestations Of: Zhang Shao Han Yun Xie Chuanmiao quiet Xian Yin Li Jianpeng [Abstract] Objective of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is a rare malignant epithelial lung tumors, lung cancer is more aggressive than normal, the prognosis is poor, no specific clinical features, a high rate of misdiagnosis. Based on the analysis of 8 cases of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung Clinical and imaging data, and review of the literature, raise awareness about the disease. Methods A retrospective review of 8 patients with pathologically proven sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung CT, including tumor location, size, shape, margin, enhancement pattern, pleural assault. Results stick 8 cases of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung, the central type 1 cases, peripheral in 7 cases, 7 were located in the upper lobe, 1 in the lower lobe. maximum diameter of 3.4cm ~ 13.0cm, an average of 8.5cm, which lt; 5.0cm in 1 case, 5.0 ~ ~ 8.0cm in 2 cases,gt; 8.0cm .5 cases 5 cases with clear edge and the edge of 3 patients is unclear. enhanced scan showed homogeneous enhancement in 2 cases, 6 cases showed irregular enhancement around the lesion, see large areas of central low density .8 cases were violations of the pleura. Conclusion Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung CT manifestations with certain characteristics, performance of larger lung tumors, peripheral common, enhanced scanning or thick irregular ring around the strengthen, the central low density areas, see large flakes, easily invading into adjacent pleura and chest wall.
