Abstract
Primary rhabdoid tumor of lung is a rare histological and clinical
entity. Lung tumors with rhabdoid features have been included as
variants of large-cell carcinoma in the 1999 World Health Organization
(WHO) classification of lung tumors. A large-cell carcinoma with a
rhabdoid phenotype (LCCRP) is unusual, with only 38 cases reported till
date. We report the clinical details of one such case that was treated
with pneumonectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. We also present a review
of the literature. To identify relevant articles, we searched PubMed,
Ovid, and IngentaConnect databases using the key words
\u2032rhabdoid,\u2032 \u2032lung cancer,\u2032 and \u2032primary
rhabdoid tumor of lung.\u203
