چکیده
Objective: Imaging features, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer were analyzed to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Methods: The clinical data of 14 cases of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer treated in Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2008 to August 2016 were collected. Their clinical characteristics, imaging, diagnosis and treatment features were analyzed. Results: Fourteen cases were confirmed pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer pathologically. Twelve cases were considered as lung cancer in CT images, and two cases were considered as benign nodules. Four lesions were confirmed as pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma, which were considered as malignant tumor or metastatic cancer by CT diagnosis. Conclusion: The phenomenon of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer is rare. When multiple nodules are found in images with natures difficult to be determined, respective pathological basis should be obtained for definite diagnosis.

Case of sclerosing pneumocytoma combined with a typical carcinoid and pulmonary adenocarcinoma in different lobes
We report the first case of a 62-year-old man with a sclerosing pneumocytoma (SP) combined with a typical carcinoid (TC) and pulmonary adenocarcinoma in different lung lobes. Computed tomography revealed two nodules. The radiological diagnosis was primary lung cancer and a metastatic nodule; however, no enlarged lymph nodes were observed. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses defined th...

A 66 year old was woman admitted to our respiratory department after being diagnosed with intrapulmonary metastasis of lung cancer. For further evaluation, we performed a CT guided percutaneous pulmonary puncture biopsy following the thorax-computed tomography, which revealed multiple nodules in the lung field. Histological analysis suggested that it was pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma. It’s ...

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...

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 tom...
