Small cell lung carcinoma is sometimes called "Oat cell carcinoma" due to the flat cell shape and scanty cytoplasm. It originates from neuroendocrine cells in the bronchus and often leads to ectopic production of hormones ADH and ACTH. It is the most widely metastatic of all tumors (and henced staged differently) and is sometimes seen in combination with squamous cell carcinomas. Smoking is a significant etiological factor.
