Abstract
- The incidence of primary lung cancer is increasing in our country. This presentation is an attempt to correlate a useful diagnosis with radiological findings of primary lung cancer. Histologically proved 210 cases of primary lung cancer are as follow: Epidermoid Ca. 65%, Adeno Ca. 18%, Small cell Ca. 9.5%, Large cell Ca. 2%, Unclassified Ca. 3.3%, Mucoepidermoid Ca. 2.4%, Mixed Ca. 0.5%. 3. In smoking history; 91% of epidermoid Ca, 17%of small cell Ca. 30% of adeno Ca. has smoking history. 4. In mass size; Average diameter of mass was most was5.3cm. Hilar mass was seen in 48 cases. Hilar mass was most frequent finding in small cell Ca. and the peripheral mass in adeno Ca. 5. Cavitary lung Ca. was 26 cases (12.4%) and most cases had relative thick wall and its mean thickness was 3.6mm. 6. Coexistence of pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer was 22 cases (10.5%), and most common in epidermoid cell Ca. as 16 cases. 7. Other findings include metastasis to lymph node, bone and other organ, and pleural effusion.
