Overview
Large cell carcinoma of the lung must be differentiated from other diseases that cause non-productive cough, weight loss, fatigue, and dyspnea among adults such as tuberculosis, pulmonary fungal disease, lung abscess, and metastases.[1][2]
Differential Diagnosis
- The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate large cell carcinoma of the lung, from other diseases that cause non-productive cough, weight loss, fatigue, and dyspnea among adults such as tuberculosis, pulmonary fungal disease, lung abscess, and metastases.[1][2]
