Background: Bronchogenic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of the lung arising from the epithelium of
the bronchus or bronchiole. The bronchogenic carcinoma is classified as Squamous cell carcinoma, Small cell
carcinoma, Adenocarcinoma, Large cell Carcinoma and Adeno-squamous carcinoma. Methodology: 50 patients of
known bronchogenic carcinoma from the P.D.U. Genral hospital and Medical College were included in the study; 48
patients were investigated as Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology for histopathological classification. Results: The
commonest bronchogenic carcinoma was squamous cell carcinoma (42%) followed by adenocarcinoma (20%), small
cell carcinoma (4%), adenosqumaous cell carcinoma (4%) and large cell carcinoma (2%). Conclusion: The
histopathological examination of bronchogenic carcinoma cases is helpful for the management of the patients.
