Popis: Objectives: To determine the outcomes and prognostic factors associated with pulmonary resection of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma (PPC). Methods: During 2008–2017, 17 patients underwent pulmonary resection for primary PPC at the Saitama Cancer Center, Japan. We investigated clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of these cases. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were determined using Kaplan–Meier method and compared using log-rank test. Univariate analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors. Results: The 5-year OS and DFS rates were 27.2% and 51.0%, respectively. The median follow-up period was 30.8±24.9 (3.6–92.8) months after pulmonary resections. Patients with disease-free interval (DFI)
