Pseudosarcoma (polypoid sarcoma-like masses) associated with squamous-cell carcinoma of the mouth, fauces, and larynx; report of ten cases.

Carcinosarcoma of the maxillary sinus; report of a case.

Since the time of Virchow various tumors have been described as carcinosarcoma, or malignant tumors of dual origin. Recently, Saphir and Vass, l and Saphir~ have reviewed the literature of these tumors. From this study, and from the study of a series of their own cases, they have shed grave doubt as to the existence of such tumors. Rather, they strongly suggested that in most cases of diagnosed carcinosarcoma, the tumors were actually carcinomas which had undergone morphological variations and which at times resembled sarcomas.

VII Carcinosarcoma of the Larynx

Polypoid carcinomas of the pharynx with sarcomatous or pseudosarcomatous stroma.

History and Findings. The patient, W. L., a male farmer, 28 years old, had for three months complained of a sensation of a lump in his throat or a slight dysphagia, but no pain or difficulty in drinking. He said that a sensation of tickling which excited him to cough was especially noticeable at night. Difficulty in breathing or phonating was never observed. Wheezing developed and was very marked after exercise. There was no hemoptysis or excessive sputum. On October 18, 1948, he entered our clinic where we noted the following findings and symptoms: He was weak and in poor physical condition. The face and skin were pale. Respiration was subdued and the voice reduced to a coarse whisper. Foetor oris was marked. Chest and abdomen showed no pathological signs. On admission the hemoglobin content was 950/0. The blood count showed 4,790,000 red cells and 9,900 white, with polymorphonuclear leucocytes 72 %, lymphocytes 23 %, monocytes 5%. The erythrocyte sedimenta tion rate showed 28 (3 0') , 68 (60'), 97 (120'). Blood pressure was normal and the Wassermann reaction negative. Albuminuria or glycosuria was not found.
