FIGURE 1 (CASE 1) Mr. E. H. F., April 13, 1954. The arrow points to a fairly homogeneous infiltration in the right upper lung field with feathery edges. The hilum is somewhat increased in density.

FIGURE 2 (CASE 1) Mr. E. H. F., July 10, 1957. This chest film was made over three years following his right upper lobectomy for undifferentiated-cell carcinoma. A small bronchopleural cutaneous fistula is still present and a safety pin is on the outer extremity of the drainage tube. There is no evidence of recurrence of carcinoma and he continues well.

FIGURE 3 (CASE 2) Mr. J. O. R., August 6, 1956. The arrows outline a large emphysematous cyst measuring about 10 cm. in its greatest diameter with a fluid level present in the cyst. In the center of the cyst is a smaller homogeneous density measuring about 2.5 cm. in diameter.

FIGURE 4, (CASE 2) Mr. J. O. R., August 6, 1956. A right lateral chest film again shows the large, thin-walled cyst with a fluid level in its base and the arrow points to the 2.5 cm. density within the cyst.

FIGURE 5 (CASE 2) Mr. J. O. H., August 19, 1957. This is a postoperative film made approximately one month after right upper lobectomy. There is still some pleural thickening and a small amount of fluid over the apex of the lung which subsequently absorbed spontaneously. Pathologic examination of the specimen showed an undifferentiated-cell bronchogenic carcinoma within a pulmonary cyst. The cyst was considered congenital. He continues well with no evidence of recurrence of carcinoma.

FIGURE 6 (CASE 4) Mr. W. R., August 1, 1935. A spherical, rather homogeneous mass is noted in the left upper lobe. A left upper lobectomy was subsequently performed and the tissue showed an undifferentiated-cell carcinoma of the lung.
