We report the case of a 79-year-old woman referred to our institution for persistent cough and right-sided chest pain. A computed tomographic scan revealed a 2-cm round nodule in the right lower lobe. A wedge resection of the lesion was achieved by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Pathologic examination was consistent with the diagnosis of chordoma. Magnetic resonance imaging of the whole spine and skull basis was normal. Therefore, a diagnosis of primary lung chordoma, an exceptional condition, could be established.
我们报告了一例 79 岁女性患者，因持续性咳嗽和右侧胸痛就诊于我院。计算机断层扫描显示右下叶有一个 2 厘米的圆形结节。通过电视辅助胸腔镜手术进行了病变的楔形切除术。病理检查符合脊索瘤的诊断。全脊柱和颅底的磁共振成像正常。因此，可以诊断为原发性肺脊索瘤，这是一种罕见的情况。
