- Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common histopathological form of lung cancer in Romania (45%). The purpose of the study was to identify the main imaging features of this type of neoplasia. Material and methods: In the period 2014-2015 were evaluated by chest radiography and thorax computer tomography, 52 patients with lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma histopathological type. Results: Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequently diagnosed in men (84.6%), older than 60 years (57.7%). The right lung was more frequently affected, the segments of upper lobes were most often concerned. The development in large bronchi with secondary atelectasis was more common beside the peripheral forms. The intratumoral necrosis and calcifications, pleural invasion and lysis of adjacent ribs have been better evaluated by CT scan than chest radiography. Secondary lesions were located in the liver, lung, bone, adrenal glands and brain. Conclusions: Atelectasis is a common manifestation of squamous cell carcinoma. Excavation, secondary necrosis are frequent radiological sign. The structure and invasive characters of the tumor are best evaluated by CT scan.
