Due to rapid advances in our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) classification has defined large cell carcinoma (LCC) as a subtype that is lacking glandular or squamous cells, and any neuroendocrine differentiation. Accordingly, LCC is one of the rarest subtypes of NSCLC. LCC usually presents as a large peripheral tumour with prominent necrosis and its specific characteristics are not well known. Here, we report a case of LCC identified during differential diagnosis of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage in a patient with haemoptysis.
