82-year-old female with dyspnea presents with an obstructing lesion of the left main stem bronchus and total atelectasis of the left lung caused by a central squamous cell carcinoma mass. The scout film (a) shows a vague area of increase density in the left upper lung field, with minimal elevation of the left mainstem bronchus. The central mass (white asterisk ? is noted in c, d, g, j, k and l. Invasion and obstruction of the left main stem bronchus (black arrow – f, g) with invasion into the lumen without obstruction is notes in I ? orange arrow. Post obstructive atelectasis of the left upper lobe is noted (red asterisk ? b,c,j,k,l) with hyperinflated left lower lobe extending to the left apex.
