Overview

On conventional radiography, characteristic findings of large cell carcinoma of the lung, include: large rounded peripheral mass rounded or spiculated mass, bulky hilum (representing the tumor and local nodal involvement) and lobar collapse.[1]

Chest X Ray

  • Conventional chest radiograph may be helpful in the diagnosis of large cell carcinoma of the lung
  • The majority of non-small cell lung cancers require further evaluation with CT scan and MRI
  • Common features of conventional radiography to perform the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancers, include:[2]
  • On conventional radiography, characteristic findings of non-small cell lung cancer, include:[2]
  • Rounded large peripheral mass
  • Bulky hilum (representing the tumor and local nodal involvement)
  • Lobar collapse
  • Pleural effusion
  • On conventional radiography, signs of large cell carcinoma of the lung, include:[2]
  • Golden "S" sign: created by a central mass obstructing the upper lobe bronchus and should raise suspicion of a primary lung cancer. Usually seen with right upper lobe collapse.
  • Coin lesion: round or oval, well-circumscribed lesion
  • Luftsichel sign: curvilinear opacity represents compensatory hyperinflation of the lobe
  • Bronchial cut off sign: abrupt truncation of a bronchus from obstruction
