[Adenocarcinoma of the lobus v. azygos, characteristics of lymphogenous and hematogenous metastasis].
A tumor originating in a lobus v. azygos is very seldom. We report here on a patient with a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lobus v. azygos which exhibits a very aggressive growth. Depending on the tumor localization, the metastasis is typical and can be recognized by computertomography (CT). In spite of the large number of treatment strategies, the prognosis is poor.
