Overview
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung must be differentiated from other pulmonary disease causing cough, weight loss, hemoptysis, and dyspnea with the of tests such as chest X-ray, CT-scan of the chest, sputum culture and stain specific for microbes. Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung must be differentiated from different types of lung malignancies with the help of biopsy results and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy specimen.
Differentiating sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung from other Pulmonary Diseases
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung must be differentiated from some serious infectious diseases of the lung and other types of lung cancer.
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung must be differentiated from the following infectious diseases of the lung that can cause cough, weight loss, hemoptysis, and dyspnea among adults with the help of chest X-ray, CT-scan of the chest, sputum culture and stain specific for microbes.[1][2][3]
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung must be differentiated from different types of lung malignancies with the help of biopsy results and immunohistochemical staining.
