Pleomorphic carcinoma is a rare epithelial malignant tumor. Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma was introduced by the 1999 World Health Organization classification as a new peculiar type of lung carcinoma showing concurrent malignant epithelial and sarcomatoid spindle cell elements. Rarely seening, advange age, male sex dominance, upper lobe involvement, big sized (more than 7 cm.) at time of diagnosis, and poor prognosis are the characteristics of it. We are reporting 63-year-old man with pleomorfic carcinoma in the left lower lobe who was treated by left pneumonectomy.
