Abstract
- The classic presentation of small cell carcinoma is hilar or mediastinal lymph node metastases while the primary tumor remains an occult tumor. Grossly enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes can be frequently seen on the chest radiographs and CT scans. We report here on a case of small cell carcinoma that manifested as a unilateral bulky thoracic mass in a pregnant woman.
