[Pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma (author's transl)]

Abstract

A 55-years old patient is reported who became ill with recurrent attacks of coughing and haemoptysis some 3 weeks before death. An extensive mediastinal tumor was demonstrated radiologically. Pathoanatomical examination showed a pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the lower left pulmonary lobe with metastases in the right lung and regional lymph nodes.
