In following up a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, we encountered a case of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma with mediastinal direct invasion. A 65-year-old man with hemoptysis was found to have an abnormal shadow in the right upper lung field. A 6.4 x 4.8-cm tumor adjacent to the upper mediastinum occupied the right anterior segment of the upper lobe (S3) and invaded the superior vena cava (SVC). The serum level of neuron-specific enolase was elevated to 11.9 ng/ml. A specimen from a transbronchial lung biopsy of the right B3b bronchus revealed giant tumor cells. A right upper lobectomy with SVC reconstruction was performed. The resected tumor was diagnosed as a pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma with a large component of giant and spindle cells, and it is considered to be a rare histologic type.
