Overview
Physical examination findings of large cell carcinoma of the lung will depend on the stage and size of the tumor. Large cell carcinoma of the lung with peripheral location may cause reduced chest expansion, tachypnea, and crackling sounds. Other common physical examination findings of patients with large cell carcinoma of the lung, may include: bubbling noises, decreased/absent breath sounds, and whispered pectoriloquy.[1]
