Abstract
- Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinomas are rare malignant tumors that account for 0.1 to 0.4% of all lung cancers. They are notable for their aggressive clinical behavior and poor prognosis. We report here on a patient who is alive and disease-free 12 years after receiving surgical treatment for the rib recurrence of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma.
