1 Introduction Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) accounts for only 0.1%–1% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) [1, 2]. It is characterised by spindle or giant cell morphology and demonstrates both epithelial and mesenchymal features [1, 2]. PSC is associated with aggressive behaviour and poor prognosis, with median survival typically less than one year [2, 3]. Most patients present with a pulmonary or pleural mass, often accompanied by pleural effusion [2].
