Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma is a rare primary lung tumor, part of the group of non-small cell cancers. We report the case of a 54-year-old patient, a chronic smoker who presented with hemoptysis evolving in a context of deterioration in general condition. Chest imaging revealeda left upper lobar tissue density mass with some hypodensity. The diagnosis of pleomorphic lung carcinoma was made based on histological data from bronchial biopsies, and classified as stage IVb according to the TNM classification (8th edition). Palliative chemotherapy was then offered to the patient. The evolution was marked by the death of the patient 2 months after diagnosis. Through this observation, we wish to shed light on this rare and particular histological type but just as aggressive as other pulmonary neoplasias.
