    Background:
    Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung, of all lung cancers are rare tumors that account for about 0.3% to 1%. Moved across the periphery of the lungs tend to show local invasion of adjacent tissues. In the literature, it is more common in older men and other nonsmallcell is reported to have worse prognosis than lung cancer suptip. However, no large studies on this subject. Our hospital patients with a diagnosis of pleomorphic carcinoma within the last five years, radiological and pathological features were analyzed retrospectively. The average age of the patients was 64.9 'd, 2 patients were women and 16 male patients. The most common symptoms of shortness of breath, weight loss and chest pain. Bronchoscopic biopsy diagnosis in 2 cases, true-cut biopsy in 6 cases, 10 cases were diagnosed by surgical biopsy. Radiological since they tend to settle peripheral lesions and chest wall often been followed showed pleural invasion. The median survival time of the patients was 10.6 months (1 month-24 months). Pleomorphic carcinomas are rare tumors of the clinical literature that lung, radiological and pathological features are not case series highlighting the work we aimed to highlight the features of this rare group
    
    Methods:
    Retrospective analysis were made in our thoracic oncology clinic datebase.
    
    Results:

Radiological since they tend to settle peripheral lesions and chest wall often been followed showed pleural invasion. The median survival time of the patients was 10.6 months (1 month-24 months).
    
    Conclusion:
    Pleomorphic carcinomas are rare tumors of the clinical literature that lung, radiological and pathological features are not case series highlighting the work we aimed to highlight the features of this rare group
