The coin lesion of the lung: A review of 955 resected coin lesions
- 1 February 1983
Abstract
The retrospective study of 955 coin lesions of the lung showed 49% to be malignant. The proportion of malignant lesions increased with age. In patients older than 60 years of age, 65% of the lesions were malignant; in this group, bronchogenic carcinoma was the most frequent lesion. The delay prior to resection was especially pronounced in both younger patients and in patients with smaller lesions.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
