Abstract

One of the most important reasons for undetected lung cancer by x-ray chest radiography is accompanying bronchopneumonia.
It is challenging to distinguish these two clinical entities, so that the diagnosis of lung cancer is not delayed. We present a late-diagnosed
case of lung cancer with disseminated metastases in the liver, due to reduced visibility from a bronchopneumonic infiltrate.
This case was confirmed by laboratory analyses, tumor markers, computed tomography (CT) and its spread with Doppler echosonography.
In summary, we would like to highlight the need for additional diagnosis with CT and the diminished diagnostic value of X-rays
in bronchopneumonia.
Keywords: Lung Cancer; Bronchopneumonia; X-Ray Chest Radiography; Doppler Ultrasonography
