Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma mimicking lung cancer: Case report and review of the literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare benign neoplasm that predominantly affects middle-aged Asian women. PSP is often asymptomatic and demonstrates a solitary pulmonary nodule on radiologic examination. We report a case of PSP initially misdiagnosed as lung cancer because of strong (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake revealed by (18)F-FDG positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan. After surgery, pathology revealed that the tumor cells were immunopositive for epithelial membrane antigen and thyroid transcription factor-1. The patient has been followed up without complication or recurrence.

متن کاملSclerosing pneumocytoma diagnosed by preoperative endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)
BACKGROUND Sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare lung tumor that is usually recognized as a solitary nodule in the lung. Surgical removal is recommended; however, its clinical diagnosis is still an issue because it is difficult to differentiate from lung adenocarcinomas using a tiny sample obtained from biopsy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma located in the...
