Background: Lung carcinoma is the most common carcinoma and the leading cause of cancer-related death, particularly among men. The disease may be primary or metastatic and is classified into Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) and Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC). The main risk factor is smoking, followed by exposure to pollution, radiation, genetic factors, and advanced age. Chest X-ray plays an important role in the early detection and evaluation of lung lesion characteristics. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of lung carcinoma based on chest X-ray findings in adult patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. Method: This study is a descriptive study using secondary data from the medical records of lung carcinoma patients who underwent chest X-ray examinations from January to December 2024. Samples were obtained through total sampling of patients aged ≥18 years with a diagnosis of lung carcinoma. The variables included age, sex, education, location, size, lesion margin, opacity, cavity, pleural effusion, and lung side. Results: Of the 68 patients, the majority were aged 45–64 years (55.9%), predominantly male (77.9%), and had a senior high school education (47.1%). Based on chest X-ray findings, lesions were most commonly located centrally (60.3%), appeared as masses larger than 3 cm (92.6%), and had irregular margins (100%). Most showed homogeneous opacity (82.4%), without cavitation (88.2%), and were accompanied by pleural effusion (57.4%). Lesions were more frequently found in the left lung (57.4%). Conclusion: Lung carcinoma in adult patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital in 2024 was more common in males aged 45–64 years, located centrally, measuring more than 3 cm, with irregular margins, and often accompanied by pleural effusion.
