The clinical features are variable correlated with the histological type, site, and degree of development of the carcinoma. Clinical Features Clinical Features
Early Stage: Early Stage: No signs! No symptoms! No signs! No symptoms!
Sign and Symptom 1.Manifestation Of Respiratory System: 1.Manifestation Of Respiratory System: Cough Hemoptysis Sputum Breathlessness Stridor Chest pain
Sign and Symptom 2.Spread and Invasion: 2.Spread and Invasion: 1).Pleura---effusion, pleuritic pain and chest wall pain.
Sign and Symptom 2).Mediastinum--- Left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy Superior vena caval obstruction Dysphagia Phrenic nerve paralysis Pancoast ’ tumors: Horner ’ s syndrome
Sign and Symptom 3. Other abnormal: 3. Other abnormal: Endocrine and metabolic manifestations Neuromuscular manifestations Connective tissue and osseous manifestations
Imaginal Manifestations Central Type Central Type Peripheral Type Peripheral Type Diffuse Type Diffuse Type
Central Type of lung Cancer Central Type of lung Cancer Early Stage : Early Stage : No Abnormal X-ray Findings Imaginal Manifestations
Central Type of lung Cancer Chest film + CT scans The Direct Signs 1.Hilar mass: Unilateral hilar enlargement Increased density of hilum tumor mass and lymph nodes Imaginal Manifestations
Central Type of lung Cancer 2.Abnormality of bronchi (Encroachment ) Intralumen nodule Thickening Wall Irregular narrowing Completely obstructed Imaginal Manifestations
Central Type of lung Cancer CT scans can demonstrate the abnormality of bronchi and hilar mass clearly. Imaginal Manifestations
Central Type of lung Cancer Indirect Signs: (Airway Obstruction) 1.Obstructive Emphysema (overinflation of lung) Rare 2% 2.Obstructive Atelectasis (collapse) Very common 3.Obstructive Pneumonia (consolidation) Imaginal Manifestations
Chest Film Completely obstructed Atelectasis
Central Type of lung Cancer Transverse “ s ” sign: The typical sign of lung cancer of right upper lobe. This are the superior lobar atelectasis and hilar tumor. Imaginal Manifestations
The Transverse “S” Sign
Squamous carcinoma of left lung
CT Scan obstructed Hilar mass
CT Scan Atelectasis ObstructivePneumonia Obstructive Pneumonia
Central Type of lung Cancer Central Type of lung Cancer Late sign (typical ) Hilar Mass+ Atelectasis
Peripheral Type of Lung Cancer Peripheral Type of Lung Cancer Early Stage: D≤2cm SPN---Single Pulmonary Nodule Small Infiltrating lesion Imaginal Manifestations
Peripheral Type of Lung Cancer Typical Features Only One MASS in the Lung! 1. Location: anywhere 2.Size: any size but if D>4cm it is likely lung cancer. Doubling Time:120 days (median) Imaginal Manifestations
Peripheral Type of Lung Cancer Peripheral Type of Lung Cancer 3.Shape: spherical, oval, lobulated configuration. Notched (umbilicated) is very typical. 4.Border: clear (smooth), shaggy or cloudy( ill defined), spiculated infiltrating. Imaginal Manifestations
Peripheral Type of Lung Cancer 5.Densety: 1). Homogeneous 2).Calcification, very rare 3).Early, air bronchiologram or air bronchogram 4). Cavity, irregular inner wall, eccentric 5). Enhanced in CT scan. Imaginal Manifestations
Peripheral Type of Lung Cancer 6. Around Mass: Pleural Indrawn Sign: A tail appears as a peripheral line shadow between a mass and the pleura. 7.Others: Imaginal Manifestations
nocthed Air bronchogram spuclated Pleural tail sign
Peripheral Type: Chest Film Small Infiltrating lesion
Peripheral Type: Chest Film air bronchiologram
Peripheral Type: Chest Film lobulated configuration. Notched
Peripheral Type cavity, irregular inner wall
Peripheral Type: CT Scan spiculated 3D CT
Peripheral Type Pancoast ’ tumors (apical)
Peripheral Type: CT Scan Pleural Indrawn Sign
Peripheral Type: CT Scan cavity Small Infiltrating lesion
Peripheral Type: CT Scan air bronchiologram lobulated
Peripheral Type: CT Scan spiculated Pleural Indrawn Sign
Diffuse Type of Lung Cancer Bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma 1. Diffuse nodule shadows in a lobe or multiple lobes of both lung. Feature: More low lobe and more or less confluent(consolidation), shaggy, air bronchogram. Imaginal Manifestations
Diffuse Type of Lung Cancer 2. Lung markings: shaggy,septal lines(kerley A and B) 3. Pleural: effusion. 4. Hilar and mediastinum: adenopathy (lymph node enlargement) Imaginal Manifestations
Diffuse Type
Diffuse Type: CT Scan Diffuse nodule Ground-glass shadow
Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis 1. Central type: Key point : Mass in hilar+ Atelectasis+ Encroachment of bronchi DD: Bronchial Mucosa Tuberculosis
2. Perpheral type: Key point : Mass--- Lobulated, Notched, Spiculated, Air bronchiologram, Pleural tail sign. DD: Inflammatory Pseudotumor Pulmonary Hamartoma Tuberculoma
