Micrograph showing a sarcomatoid carcinoma with the sarcomatous component on the left of image and conventional (prostatic) carcinoma on the right of image. H&E stain.
A sarcomatoid carcinoma is an epithelial derived malignancy (carcinoma), that has morphologic features suggestive of a malignant mesenchymal tumour (sarcoma). It is a sarcoma-like carcinoma.[1][2]
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 prostatic carcinoma.
- Spindle cell squamous carcinoma.
- Metaplastic breast carcinoma, non-squamous.
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.[3]
- Others.
