Summary
Small cell carcinoma of the bronchus frequently presents as a widely disseminated tumor with a large central primary lesion. A patient with peripheral shadowing on a chest radiograph is reported in whom bronchoscopy revealed endobronchial tumor of the small cell type. The patient underwent lobectomy, but residual carcinoma could not be identified in the operative specimen, and the patient has remained disease-free for 2.5 years post-resection.
Key words:
