Carcinosarcoma of the lung is a rare malignancy. Endobronchial and
parenchymal variants are classically described. Clinicopathological
features are often related to anatomical location, as is the case for most
lung neoplasms. This case report details the surgical management of a
carcinosarcoma in a patient seen with pulmonary osteoarthropathy.
