Abstract :

Back Ground: – Bronchogenic carcinoma is the second most commonest cancer in both men and women

next to prostate carcinoma and east carcinoma respectively. Though first noted in USA and European

Countries, now turned into worldwide epidemic with increasing use of tobacco.

Objectives: – To study etiological factors, clinical profile multifacet presentations on chest radiography and correlate

computed tomography findings with histopathological profile.

Materials and methods

This descriptive study included 100 consecutive patients suspicious of onchogenic carcinoma admitted through out

patient block in department of Pulmonology during the period of December 2007 to August 2009.They are subjected

to computed tomography and histological sampling and the findings are correlated.

Results: – Bronchogenic carcinoma is more common in males particularly in 50–60 yrs age group. Smoking is the commonest aetiological factor. Mass lesion is commonest radiological finding. Most of lesions are right sided with irregular

margins. Sqamous cell carcinoma has been the commonest histopathological type. But adenocarcinoma is predominant

in our study.

Conclusion: – Computed tomography is the modality of choice for evaluating onchogenic carcinoma. Computed tomography guided fine needle aspiration cytology is simple and safe technique with high diagnostic accuracy
