Abstract
Introduction
Squamous cell carcinoma, one of the non -small cell carcinomas of the lung accounts for 30 to 35 percent of all lung cancers. Historically this was the most common type of lung cancer, however incidence has gradually declined in past few decades in many countries with increased incidence of adenocarcinoma of lung1. Squamous cell carcinomas are often encountered in male smokers 1 . The lesions are usually located centrally resulting in intraluminal obstruction and lung collapse2. Peripheral squamous cell carcinoma may be seen as a solid nodule or a mass with or without a spiculated margin3. Presence of cavitation is a frequent finding in primary squamous cell carcinoma of lung 4 .
