Since the advent of long-term cyclophosphamide therapy, an association between this agent and the subsequent development of bladder neoplasms has been documented. Only six sarcomas have been reported, to our knowledge. This report describes the first case in which a leiomyosarcoma and an invasive transitional cell carcinoma (ie, carcinosarcoma) developed in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with 240 g of cyclophosphamide over a 6.5-year period.

We reviewed the clinical course and the results of various treatment modalities of 80 patients with rare pulmonary neoplasms, who constituted 0.8% of all patients with primary lung cancer treated at the Mayo Clinic from 1980 through 1990. The 50 male and 30 female patients had a median age of 60 years (range, 20 to 87). The histopathologic types of these rare pulmonary neoplasms were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (41%), carcinosarcoma (20%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (15%), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (5%), malignant melanoma (4%), fibrosarcoma (4%), leiomyosarcoma (4%), angiosarcoma (2%), hemangiopericytoma (2%), osteosarcoma (1%), and blastoma (1%). Follow-up was complete in all 80 patients, and the median duration of follow-up was 59 months (range, 15 to 130). Of the 80 patients, 63 (79%) underwent pulmonary resection. Of the other 17 patients, 8 underwent only bronchoscopy for diagnosis, 4 had unresectable disease at thoracotomy, 3 had metastatic disease on initial assessment, and 2 had mediastinal involvement detected on mediastinoscopy. Fifty-four patients (68%) received chemotherapy or radiation treatment (or both). The overall 5-year survival was 39%. The strongest factors that influenced survival were cell type and extent of disease at time of initial examination.
