title: [Comparison of endoscopic aspects and cytohistological patterns in primary lung neoplasia].
abstract: Four-hundred and thirty-six patients recognized affected by primitive lung neoplasia have been examined to prove possible correlation between the endoscopic aspects, histologic type and central or peripheral localization of the neoplasia. The diagnostic sensibility of the different cytohistological techniques used in fiberoptic bronchoscopy have been valued too. For the peripheral localizations the diagnosis has been obtained in most cases by using fine needle percutaneous aspiration.
