- Abstract
The article presents a rare case of expectoration of bronchogenic tumour tissue by a 77-year-old man who was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer. The patient had a paroxysm of coughing and expectorated a greyish red fragment of tissue, and was identified as small-cell carcinoma through histological examination. After the expectoration, the patient felt better and repeated chest X-ray indicated re-expansion of the right lung.
