Forty-six cases of primary bronchogenic carcinoma occurring in patients with other unilateral pleuropulmonary diseases were studied. In 37 cases (80-4%) carcinoma developed in the previously healthy lung. All but one squamous-cell carcinoma and all of five undifferentiated small-cell carcinomas developed in the previously healthy lung while 7 of 15 adenocarcinomas were in the lung with impaired...

Pancoast syndrome consists of signs and symptoms resulting from a tumor affecting the pulmonary apex and adjacent structures. The process is typically caused by a neoplasm. The majority of cases of Pancoast syndrome are caused by bronchogenic carcinoma. The most commonly found histologic subtypes are adenocarcinoma and epidermoid carcinoma. There have been very few reports of small cell lung ca...

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, also known as oat cell carcinoma is a frequently encountered bronchogenic neoplasm. Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the head and neck are rare aggressive tumors and pose a diagnostic and management challenge. Differentiation from conventional nasopharyngeal carcinoma is difficult due to morphological characteristics and small biopsy specimen. Distinguishing is ...

in leukocytes both in vivo and in vitro. Similar studies have been carried out on the in vitro effect of chemotherapeutic drugs; however, relatively few studies have been reported on the in vivo effect of chemotherapeutic drugs on chromosomes.’11 Of the latter group, there were only three cases of bronchogenic carcinoma, all treated with nitrogen mustard.2’9 This study reports chromosome change...

In lung transplantation, the presence of bronchogenic carcinoma in the native organ is uncommon, but doubtless affects patient survival, independently of the transplantation process itself. We describe 2 cases in which a primary tumor was found in the explanted lung--1 case of adenocarcinoma in a patient with pulmonary emphysema and 1 case of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in a patient with idiop...

Chronic diseases are the most prevalent worldwide. Evidence-based medicine points to primary care as effective tool minimize burden through prevention and early detection of diseases. In keeping with this, arm can be regarded gatekeeper public health. The rising incidence chronic indicates that system may fail live up its responsibility. We present a case an elderly male who came hospital advan...
