At autopsy the lung ranked second only to the stomach as the primary site of carcinoma. While such a postmortem incidence obviously does not represent the true morbidity for the entire population, it serves to reflect again the frequency and importance of this tumor.

A summary of the salient gross and microscopic observations in these 100 cases of primary bronchiogenic carcinoma studied post mortem constitutes the substance of this paper. The attempt will be made to correlate the cell type of the tumor with . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
