Abstract
Appropriate pathologic diagnosis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is essential in order to apply the aggressive treatment modalities.
But several subtypes of SCLC were suggested by various authors based
on morphological features. Among them, the incidence of small cell lung
cancer (SCLC) combined with squamous cell and/or adenocarcinoma, combined
small cell lung cancer, represent less than 1% to 3% of SCLC tumors.
Because of the rarity of SCLC combined with squamous cell and/or
adenocarcinoma, very little is known about the clinical characteristics
and response to therapy of these tumor. We report a case of SCLC combined
with squamous cell and adenocarcinoma in 68 year old male who experienced
pneumonectomy of the left lung.
