Physical examination findings of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung will depend on the location of the tumor. Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung with central location may cause [[Crackles|crackling sounds]], [[Wheezing|focal wheezing]], [[Hoarseness|voice hoarseness]], and [[tachypnea]]. Peripheral location can present with physical findings suggestive of [[Pleurisy physical examination|pleurisy]]. Common physical examination of patients with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung include crackling or bubbling noises and decreased or absent [[breath sounds]].
Physical examination findings of non-small cell lung cancer will depend on the location of the tumor. Non-small cell lung cancer with central location may cause [[Crackles|crackling sounds]], [[Wheezing|focal wheezing]], [[Hoarseness|voice hoarseness]], and [[tachypnea]]. Peripheral location can present with [[pleurisy]] findings, such as reduced [[chest expansion]]. Common physical examination of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, include: crackling or bubbling noises, decreased/absent [[breath sounds]], and whispered pectoriloquy.

Overview

Physical examination findings of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung will depend on the location of the tumor. Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung with central location may cause crackling sounds, focal wheezing, voice hoarseness, and tachypnea. Peripheral location can present with physical findings suggestive of pleurisy. Common physical examination of patients with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung include crackling or bubbling noises and decreased or absent breath sounds.

Physical Examination

The following physical examination findings may be present among patients with non-small cell lung cancer:[1][2]

  • Physical examination findings of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung can be completely normal during the early stage of malignancy.
  • Patient may present with following findings in later stage of malignancy:

General appearance

  • Well-appearing
  • Older age in relation to chronological age
  • Lethargic
  • Confused

Vital Signs

HEENT

Skin

CNS

Chest

Auscultation

Percussion

Abdomen

Back

  • Back examination of patients with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is usually normal.

Genitourinary

  • Genitourinary examination of patients with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is usually normal.

Musculoskeletal

  • Palpable soft-tissue mass

Extremities
