    Abstract:
    465 patients with broncho-pulmonary malignant tumors have been autopsied. Small cell carcinoma was diagnosed in 22.5 per cent of these patients. The histo-cytological variants of these tumors (lymphocytoid, polygonal, fusiform and polymorphic) had the same general characteristics (age, sex, survival) and a similar clinical course. Grossly and histologically, the bronchial tumor, always located in proximal bronchial tree, largely involved the mediastinum. Metastases were peculiarly frequent to the liver (69%), to bone (64.2%) and to the central nervous system (36.2%). Three Schwartz-Bartter syndromes and two Denny Brown sensitive neuropathies were noted in this statistical study.
