Abstract excerpt
Carcinosarcoma (spindle cell carcinoma) of the esophagus is a rare neoplasm that shows squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with a variable component of spindle cell sarcoma. Clinical and pathologic features of this neoplasm have been well documented, but the histogenesis has long been a matter of speculation and dispute. In an attempt to clarify the clonality and genetic relationships in the evolution of this neoplasm,...
