There are few reported cases of clear cell tumor of the lung, a very rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm. We describe a 41-year-old asymptomatic man who presented with a coin lesion in a routine chest roentgenogram that was absent in a roentgenogram performed a year earlier. After a thorough workup, including radionuclide scintigraphy, the diagnosis of cell tumor of the lung was established. Somatostatin receptor positivity was demonstrated, and this clear cell tumor of the lung had a rapid growth rate. Because of these features, the benign nature of such a tumor remains questionable.
肺部透明细胞肿瘤甚为罕见，属于良性间叶性肿瘤，目前报道的病例较少。我们描述了 1 例 41 岁无症状男性患者，其在常规胸片中呈现硬币样病变，而在 1 年前进行的胸片中未见该病变。在进行了包括放射性核素闪烁扫描在内的全面检查后，确立了肺部透明细胞肿瘤的诊断。生长抑素受体阳性，且该肺部透明细胞肿瘤生长迅速。鉴于这些特征，此类肿瘤的良性性质仍值得怀疑。
