[Clinical morphological characteristics of dimorphic lung cancer]

Twenty three cases of dimorphous lung cancer are analysed. There were found some specific features of the clinico-morphological picture of the neoplastic process in question: slow development, a predominant peripheral tumor growth, large size tumors, less pronounced local invasion of dimorphous cancer, comparatively rare metastases (34.8%). Three variants were distinguished in the combination of squamous cell and glandular foci: adenoepidermoid, squamous cell and mucoepidermoid ones.
