Five hundred eighty patients underwent diagnostic flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy: during June 1988 to March 1993 at the bronchoscopy center of Kerman university of medical sciences. Seventy six specimens were obtained from patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and 155 from patients with benign disease of the lung. The efficiency of brushing and washing techniques was compared with forceps b...

introduction : pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma is an uncommon histological variety of bronchogenic carcinoma, and has histologic areas differentiated as both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma and has clinical behavior more like that of adenocarcinoma. tumor stage is higher at the time of diagnosis, and survival is poorer. case presentation : we present a 65 years old woman with bulgi...

Bronchogenic carcinomas include small cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large-cell carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma. Bronchogenic carcinoma is clearly associated with tobacco smoking. Once the diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma is confirmed by a biopsy study, disease staging with CT or FDG-PET is indicated because treatment is stagebased. While stage I and II dis...

While bone metastases from bronchogenic carcinoma is a familiar problem, their significance as the first tumor manifestation, has been underestimated.1 A 40 years non smoker female patient came with history of painful bony swellings over ...

PURPOSE Bronchioloalveolar cell adenomas (BAAs) have been described in up to 10% of patients with bronchogenic carcinoma. Their prognostic significance is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic implications of finding BAAs coexisting in specimens resected for primary bronchogenic carcinoma and to determine how frequently BAAs can be detected radiologically.
