Abstract

The demarcation of SCCL among malignant lung tumors is based on the light microscopic finding of relatively small tumor cells (Barnard 1926). The tumor cells of this tumor group, with sizes of 9 ± 1 µm and an average nucleus size of 7 ± 1 µm, are substantially smaller than the cells of squamous cell carcinomas, with a cell diameter of 16 ± 2.5 µm, and large cell carcinomas, with cell sizes of 40 ± 14 µm and nucleus sizes of 24 ± 6 µm (Brämer 1984; Fig. 1 and Table 1).KeywordsCarcinoid TumorSmall Cell CarcinomaLarge Cell CarcinomaPulmonary BlastomaMalignant Lung TumorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
