Abstract
We report a rare case of spindle cell carcinoma in the lung. A 73-year-old woman was admitted because of a lung tumor, which was indicated during a group examination. Chest computed tomography revealed a tumor located in the right lung accompanied by spiculation. Right upper lobectomy with lymph nodal dissection was performed. Histological findings revealed only spindle-shaped tumor cells, and immunohistochemical stain showed that they were cytokeratin-positive. We diagnosed it as a pulmonary spindle cell carcinoma. © The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery 2011Entities:
