Abstract
A large variety of rare benign and malignant tumors may spo- radically affect the lung. Computed tomography (CT) findings of unusual primary lung tumors are often nonspecific. However, there are some rare pulmonary tumors with imaging features overlapping those of other conditions, thus making radiologic diagnosis chal- lenging. The aim of this review was to correlate CT and histopatho- logical features of a variety of unusual lung tumors to better clarify when and to what extent radiological diagnosis is reliable.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
