title: Computed tomography - histology correlations of unusual lung tumors.
abstract: A large variety of rare benign and malignant tumors may sporadically affect the lung. Computed tomography (CT) findings of unusual primary lung tumors are often nonspecific. However, there are some rare pulmonary tumors with imaging features overlapping those of other conditions, thus making radiologic diagnosis challenging. The aim of this review was to correlate CT and histopathological features of a variety of unusual lung tumors to better clarify when and to what extent radiological diagnosis is reliable.
