Which type of lung cancer presents with lung cavitations?
πŸ–‹ Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung often causes cavitation because the tumor tends to grow rapidly in the center, outgrowing its blood supply.

Mechanism:

- Central necrosis develops due to ischemia (poor blood supply to the tumor’s core).

- The necrotic tissue liquefies and is coughed out through the bronchial tree.

- This leaves behind a cavity within the mass, often seen on imaging as a cavitating lesion.
