Overview

Conventional chest radiography is the initial imaging method of choice for the diagnostic evaluation of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung. The initial evaluation of suspected lung cancer will depend upon the results of the chest X-ray. Further evaluation of suspected lung cancer includes enhanced CT scan of the thorax, upper abdomen, and neck. Imaging features for the evaluation of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung include location such as central or peripheral lesion, mass characteristics such as size, shape, and margins, the presence of cavitation, and type of adenopathy such as hilar or mediastinal.

X Ray

An x-ray is the initial imaging method of choice for the diagnostic evaluation of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.

Findings on an x-ray suggestive of lung cancer include:[1][2][3]
