[Lung apudomas].
As a result of a complex morphological examination of 140 cases of lung neoplasms, 24 apudomas (17.11%) and 3 carcinomas (2.14%) were identified. The latter consisted of histologically-heterogeneous lesions containing endocrine cells in combination with epidermoid or glandular cells. Clinical symptoms as well as cytologic, histological, histochemical and electron microscopic characteristics of the tumors were studied. Most of those tumors were poorly-differentiated, histologically identical to various types of small-cell lung carcinoma, or--less frequently--solid lesions and other types of tumor. The above tumors can be detected by special diagnostic procedures.
