ABSTRACT

The Pancoast tumor is a rare presentation of lung cancer. The most frequent cause of lung cancer is non-small cell, mainly squamous carcinoma, followed by adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma. Their particular location delays diagnosis and resection difficult. Symptoms depend on the structures affected by compression or invasion. The diagnosis is clinical and radiological, through proper history, examination and radiological interpretation. The study must be completed with thoracic computed tomography and / or magnetic resonance imaging. The most common therapy is the tri-modal therapy improving survival.
