Bronchial hemartoma ??
Lung tissue + cartilage
=Often calcified on imaging
p-96
Only peripheral Ca ????/

Most common type of carcinoma in non-smoker and female ??
Adenocarcinoma
p-96
ImmunoHistoChemistry result in squamous cell Ca ??
- Keratin pearls
- Intercellular bridge
- p40
P like consolidation in which Ca ?/
adenocarcinoma
PTHrP maybe produced by —-
Squamous cell Ca
Polyp like bronchus in which Ca ??
Carcinoid Ca
p-96
Adenocarcinoma characteristics histopathologically —-
UWorld
- Invasive glandular cells
- Abundant cytoplasm
- Nuclei=Eccentrically placed
Imaging result of adenocarcinoma ?
A discrete mass or pneumonia like consolidation at the periphery of the lung
UWorld
Nonsmoker cause of adenocarcinoma ?
UW
- Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-EGFR mutations
- ALK gene rearrangement
UW
Association of adenocarcinoma ?
UWorld
1.Clubbing
2.Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy
UWorld
Tumors present in the lung apex (superior sulcus ) are called ?
UW
Pancoast tumor
UW
Invasion of sorrounding structures near the apex of the lung results —
UW
- Ipsilateral horner syndrome
- Rib destruction
- Atrophy of hand muscles
- Pain in the distribution of C8 T1 T2 nerve roots
UWorld
