Sarcomatoid carcinoma: case report
Sarcomatoid carcinoma (SC) is a malignant tumor characterized by double malignant histology with differentiation of epithelial and mesenchymal components, a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma. The report is of a 40-year-old female patient who presented pain in the upper gingival mucosa on the left side. The intraoral exam showed extensive ulceration on the hard palate that extended from the buccal mucosa to the midline. An incisional biopsy was performed and the anatomopathologic diagnosis was SC.
