Tumors and tumorlike conditions of the large airways

Anh-Vu H Ngo et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2013 Aug.

Abstract

Objective: Large-airway tumors and tumorlike conditions are uncommon, but a systematic approach aids in narrowing the differential diagnosis. In this article, we describe an approach to dealing with large-airway lesions and discuss their imaging characteristics and clinical presentations.

Conclusion: We have found it useful to separate these entities into groups on the basis of the distribution pattern (focal vs diffuse) and location (trachea vs bronchi).
