He works as a computer engineer, and he informs you that he has been having to meet several deadlines recently and has been under significant stress. His medical history is significant for gout, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus type 2, and pulmonary histoplasmosis 10 years ago. He currently smokes 2 packs of cigarettesday, drinks a 6-pack of beerday, and he endorses a past history of cocaine use back in the early 2000s but currently denies any drug use.

His physical examination shows minimal bibasilar rales, but otherwise clear lungs on auscultation, grade 26 holosystolic murmur, and a benign abdominal physical examination. However, on routine lab testing, you notice that his sodium is 127 mEqL. His chest X-ray is shown in the picture. Which of the following is the most likely underlying diagnosis?? A: Small cell lung cancer, B: Non-small cell lung cancer, C: Large cell lung cancer, D: Squamous cell carcinoma, E: Adenocarcinoma,  <response>: This is a multi-step clinical reasoning question involving a patient with cough, weight loss, and hyponatremia. The key findings in the stem are a 61-year-old man with 3 months of cough, weight loss, smoking history, and an abnormal chest X-ray showing a right hilar mass.

The specific type of lung cancer is important to discern as it guides prognosis and treatment options. The answer choices list different histological subtypes of lung cancer. Based on the central location and bulky appearance of the mass on imaging, small cell lung cancer is the most likely diagnosis. A: Small cell lung cancer
