Abstract
|
|
|
Despite all available methods of diagnosis and treatment, the general prognosis for
lung cancer is still not good. Even with early detection and optimum care, there is no
assurance of a cure for any particular patients. Yet, it may be assumed that in general
the earlier a case is treated, the greater will be the chance of obtaining a cure; and that
patients with occult stage (Tx. N0. M0) or in
situ carcinoma are the best candidates. Since the majority of previously reported cases
of "in situ" have proved to be radiologically Occult lesions in symptomatic patients, it
became more practical to use the term "Radiologically Occult Lung Cancer, " which first
reported in 1947 by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
We reviewed a case of a 53 year-ol4 man who noted a long duration of cough and
recent exacerbation of hemoptysis. Sputum cytology disclosed epidermoid carcinoma
while it was still not evident by routine chest X-ray. The morphology and location of
the lesion was confirmed by bronchofiberscopic examination.
