Chapter
Large-cell carcinoma is usually peripheral, large, lobulated and/or well marginated, heterogeneously enhancing mass with central necrosis (central necrosis may be absent if size is small).
Chapter
Small-cell carcinoma usually arises from the main or proximal lobar bronchi and is located centrally in vast majority of patients who present with hilar or mediastinal mass.
Chapter
Bronchial obstruction can lead to atelectasis or recurrent pneumonia of the affected lung/lobe/segment. The iceberg sign refers to a small portion of the tumor visible within the bronchial lumen compared to bulk ...
Chapter
Primary salivary gland–type tumors of the lung are rare neoplasms that arise from the submucosal glands of central airways. Four histologic types are identified (two of which are extremely rare).
Chapter
Benign tumors of the lung which arise from the bronchial mucous glands and usually present as a solitary lung nodule.
Chapter
Endobronchial nodule with segmental, lobar, or total lung collapse (early presentation). The Golden S sign refers to central obstructive right hilar tumor with right upper lobe atelectasis, which may be due to SC...

Poorer prognosis with early metastasis.
Chapter
Respiratory bronchiolitis and follicular bronchiolitis are characterzed by ill-defined centrilobular nodules, while mosaicism and air-trap** are the imaging hallmark of obliterative bronchiolitis.
Chapter
Classified as a subtype of large-cell carcinoma, large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma arises from Kulchitsky cells of the bronchus similar to other neuroendocrine tumors of the lung (sixth decade, smokers).
Chapter
Rare subtype of poorly differentiated NSCLC (0.1–0.4%) with overall poor prognosis compared to other NSCLCs, which have a sarcoma-like histology characterized by spindled, pleomorphic cells.
Chapter
Primary mesenchymal tumors of the lung are rare. These arise from cells of mesodermal origin in the lungs that develop into bone, cartilage, or other connective tissues, such as blood vessels, adipose tissue, ...

International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC)/the American Thoracic Society (ATS)/the European Respiratory Society (ERS) classification followed...
Chapter
Most common pleural tumors are metastatic from the thorax or elsewhere (often adenocarcinomas). Primary pleural tumors are rare – two most common are malignant mesothelioma (almost uniformly fatal) and solitar...
Chapter
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD refers to a group of chronic inflammatory lung diseases that cause airflow obstruction from the lungs, and most commonly include emphysema. chronic bronchitis and ...
