Adenosquamous carcinoma of lung: A case of stormy course –A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Adenosquamous carcinoma is a less common subtype of non small cell (NSCLC). It’s a relatively rare variety of NSCLC. The clinical presentation is similar to other common variants (Adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma). Resection of the primary tumor with curative intent is the mainstay of treatment in early malignancy. However, since most cases of lung cancer present at later stage of disease, medical management, with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy is the only option available at the time of diagnosis. The overall prognosis is poor in patients with adenosquamous variant vis a vis adenocarcinoma or squamous variety.
