ABSTRACT
Plain chest X-ray is the first diagnostic tool in suspected bronchogenic carcinoma because it is inexpensive, available and sensitive.
The aim of the present study is to identify the diagnostic accuracy and radiographic appearance of bronchogenic carcinoma on plain chest X- ray. For these purposes, we reviwed chest radiographs of 78 cases with pathologically and/ or cytologically- proved bronchogenic carcinoma who had been treated in Hospital No.1 of Kerman University of Medical Sciences between 1982- 1998.
The most frequent radiographic appearance in the chest X-ray was colaps and consolidation. However, the radiographic signs of different cell types were varied. The upper lobes were more involved.
Radiographic findings was compatible with pathology and/or cytology only in 34 cases (43.6%) (95% confidence interval 32.4%- 55.3%).
