Radiological difference between pneumonia and bronchogenic carcinoma?

∙ 14y ago
In bronchogenic carcinoma you are more likely to see a discrete mass, with atelectasis/collapse distally.
The most common types are squamous cell carcinoma (30-40%) and adenocarcinoma (also 30-40%). Squamous cell is more likely to be a central discrete lesion with cavitation, while adenocarcinoma is more often peripheral and almost never cavitates.1
In pneumonia (lobar) you may see more diffuse consolidation throughout the lobe +/- some collapse.

You have 3 lobes on the right side and 2 lobes on the left (with a little bitty middle lobe in between on the left). When you have left lower lobe pneumonia it is at the base of your left lung.
