Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- Diagnostic modality of choice for sarcomatoid carcinoma of lung is CT scan of the chest.[1]
- The definitive diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is made by immunohistochemical analysis and pathological subtyping of the specimen collected from biopsy, needle aspiration, sputum cytology or surgical resection of the tumor.[2]
