Abstract:
Pulmonary blastomas and carcinosarcomas are uncommon tumours, accounting for less than 1% of all lung neoplasms. Three previously described mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumours having both adult and embryonal elements were termed 'transitional'. We report a similar case and evaluate the application of the term 'transitional tumour'.

01:03Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
