Overview
Most common cause of Pancoast tumor is non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Common types of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) presenting as Pancoast tumor are squamous cell cancer, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma. Less common causes of Pancoast tumor includes small cell cancer as it rarely presents as a peripheral tumor. Pancoast's syndrome is classically associated with Pancoast tumor. Rare causes of Pancoast's syndrome include desmoid tumor, metastasis, hematologic neoplasms, and infections that may present as a tumor localized to the lung apex.
