Diagnostic value of carcinoembryonic antigen in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of peripheral lung cancer.
767 centesis yielded 2,000 ml of bloody fluid which was positive for malignant mesothelial cells. Needle biopsy ofthe pleura confirmed the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma. On bronchoscopy the right side was normal, but a lesion in the left upper lobe was found which yielded the diagnosis ofsmall cell carcinoma of lung. Treatment with chemotherapy and radiation resulted in resolution ofthe s...
