Discovery
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma was first described by Virchow in 1865 as a “biphasic” lesion of adenocarcinomatous or squamous cell carcinoma with spindle cell or giant cell component.[1]
- In 1981, World Health Organization (WHO) classification on lung cancers, mentioned pleomorphic carcinomas showing a prevalence of spindle or giant cells as morphologic variants of squamous cell carcinomas and large-cell carcinomas, respectively, and defined carcinosarcomas as biphasic tumors consisting of an intimate admixture of carcinoma and sarcoma.[2]
