Abstract:
The majority of patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome will develop clinical and radiographic pulmonary involvement during the course of their disease. Although opportunistic pathogens account for the majority of these intrathoracic abnormalities, pulmonary neoplasms are being encountered more often than would be expected for the age group under consideration. Clinicians need to be vigilant for the possibility of the early appearance of bronchogenic carcinoma in this subset of patients.
