Abstract
Squamous cell carcinomas usually appear as spherical or multilobulated nodules with circumscribed borders (Fig. 165). They may be solitary or, on occasion, several may be found in one lung. Solitary nodules may achieve a relatively large size and occupy much of the thorax. There is no predilection for any one lung lobe. They are found in the parenchyma and are rarely oriented around major airways.
