Abstract
The objective of our study was to assess the CT features of surgically resected pleomorphic carcinoma of the lung. The CT features of pleomorphic carcinoma of the lung appear to be dictated by the epithelial component of the tumor. Among the various subtypes of pleomorphic carcinoma, the large cell and giant cell subtype showed constant CT features including subpleural location, peritumoral areas of ground-glass attenuation, and extensive central low-attenuation areas.
