Summary

Lung adenocarcinoma has a spectrum of appearances on CT, many of which mimic non-malignant processes. The general radiologist has a major role in guiding the management of abnormalities detected on chest CT and an awareness of these appearances is vital. We describe the protean imaging manifestations of lung adenocarcinoma.
