Bronchogenic sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells.

Abstract:

:A 60-year-old man developed a widely metastatic spindle cell neoplasm with admixed osteoclast-like giant cells indistinguishable from malignant giant cell tumor of soft parts. Autopsy revealed a bronchogenic sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma that was the primary source of the sarcomatoid metastases. The osteoclast-like giant cells in the metastatic lesions were negative for lysozyme on immunoperoxidase staining. This finding suggested that the multinucleated giant cells were not formed as a cellular response to hemorrhage or to cellular debris induced by the tumor. Extraosseous neoplasms with osteoclast-like giant cells are rare neoplasms that may occur in a variety of organs. This case is the second reported case of a primary neoplasm in the lung that contained these osteoclast-like giant cells. These tumors may cause considerable diagnostic confusion.
