A sarcomatoid carcinoma is an epithelial derived malignancy (carcinoma), that has morphologic features suggestive of a malignant mesenchymal tumour (sarcoma).
Generally speaking, these are rare or uncommon tumours and, in most cases, have a poor prognosis when compared to their conventional counterparts.[citation needed]
Examples
- Sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma.
- Renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation (sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma).
- Sarcomatoid prostate carcinoma.
- Spindle cell squamous carcinoma.
- Metaplastic breast carcinoma, non-squamous.
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.[1]
- Others.
