Abstract

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). This case report describes a 55-year-old male with a significant smoking history who initially presented with left hemiplegia. Imaging studies revealed brain metastases and a spiculated parenchymal lung nodule in the left apical region. Histopathological examination confirmed PSC through a CT-guided biopsy. The patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to death before the initiation of planned palliative chemotherapy. This report highlights the diagnostic challenges and poor prognosis associated with PSC, emphasizing the need for further research into effective treatment strategies.
