Abstract:
Lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare histological subtype of lung cancer, which has a worse prognosis than simple lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma. ASC was predominantly located in the peripheral field of the lung with heterogeneous attenuation and the most common features included lobulation, spiculation, pleural tail sign, necrosis and cavitation on chest CT images. However, the imaging features of ASC are not specific. Therefore, acquring accurate pathological diagnosis and adequate treatment as soon as possible are very important.
