title: [Lung cancer in a young female patient].
abstract: Lung cancer is the most significant cause of cancer-related deaths in Finland. The diagnosis is still a challenge in outpatient settings. With early diagnosis, patients may receive curable treatment. We describe a young female lung cancer patient with prolonged upper airway infection as a symptom of the disease.
