Sumario:Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare pulmonary malignancy. The prognosis and treatments are unclear, with limited literature available. Here, we report a man who underwent bronchoscopy with an endobronchial biopsy after complaining of dyspnea on exertion. Computed tomography (CT) chest showed a 10 x 3 cm mass in the right upper lobe. Biopsy revealed spindle cell carcinoma, and he was referred to hematology for chemotherapy. He was lost to follow-up recently.
