Surgical Case Report: Colloid Adenocarcinoma of the Lung
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rare case of primary colloid adenocarcinoma in a 59-year-old woman. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed a round, well-defined nodule in the ligulae of the left upper lobe that slowly enlarged over 6 months from 1.0 cm to 1.2 cm. Wedge resection of the left upper lobe was performed to obtain a definitive diagnosis using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Macroscopically, the cut surface showed a well-demarcated nodule filled with a yellow-white gelatinous substance. The postoperative histological diagnosis was primary pulmonary colloid adenocarcinoma. Two months after, the patient requested additional extirpation, and lingual segment resection was performed.

متن کاملMucinous (so-called colloid) carcinoma of the lung.
I read with interest the report of mucinous (so-called colloid) carcinoma of the lung by Dr. Rossi and colleagues (Am J Surg Pathol Vol. 28, April 2004). They attribute the first reported case of what was probably a mucinous cystadenoma of lung to Gowar in 1978, and note subsequent reports of mucinous or colloid carcinomas of lung. In fact, I believe the first report of primary mucinous (gelati...
