Abstract

Radiology, mainly computed tomography, has a fundamental role in diagnosis, staging and follow-up of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of pulmonary cancer. Within its broad spectrum of presentation, the pathological, clinical and morphological characteristics of this neoplasm allow, in an appropriate clinical context, to suggest certain histological subtypes among which are mucinous adenocarcinoma, lepidic growth adenocarcinoma or associated with cystic lung lesions. The objective of this review is to describe the pathologic, clinical and radiological features of those characteristic forms of lung carcinoma that can be diagnosed radiologically with fair accuracy.
