ABSTRACT
A sarcomatoid carcinoma was diagnosed in the lung of a 10-year-old captive Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus). Both carcinomatous and sarcomatous cytologic phenotypes were identified histologically. Cells of both types stained positive for pancytokeratin and S-100. Stromal cells stained positively for muscle actin. No staining for vimentin was noted in either neoplastic or normal internal control tissues. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma in a bat, and only the third report of sarcomatoid carcinoma outside the human literature.
