1. A study of 253 cases of bronchogenic carcinoma revealed that 102 cases (40 per cent) had a history of antecedent pulmonary infection.

2. The infections most commonly associated with bronchogenic carcinoma were pneumonia (50.9 per cent), tuberculosis (21.7 per cent) and influenza (11.7 per cent).

3. There were seven cases of alveolar carcinoma in the series of which five (70 per cent) had a history of pneumonia.

4. With the exception of the alveolar carcinoma cases, there were no striking differences between the 102 cases with infection and the 151 cases without infection with respect to anatomic distribution of tumors or histologic differentiation.

5. The histologic evidence for implicating chronic inflammatory disease with bronchogenic carcinoma was reviewed.
