A cancerous tumor originating in the bronchus is known as bronchogenic carcinoma. It is so called because this type of cancer originates in the epithelium of the bronchial tree.
The suffix "-genic" in "bronchogenic" indicates that something is originating from or related to the bronchi, which are the main air passages into the lungs. Therefore, "bronchogenic" refers to something that originates in the bronchi or is related to them.
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.1In pneumonia (lobar) you may see more diffuse consolidation throughout the lobe +/- some collapse.Referencehttp://emedicine.medscape.com/article/358433-overviewIMAGES- Please see this excellent radiological resource:Bronchogenic carcinomahttp://www.mypacs.net/cgi-bin/repos/mpv3_repo/wrm/repo-view.pl?cx_subject=20740593&cx_repo=mpv4_repo&from_hss=1pneumoniahttp://www.mypacs.net/cgi-bin/repos/mpv3_repo/wrm/repo-view.pl?cx_subject=11615116&cx_repo=mpv4_repo&from_hss=1
