Primary pulmonary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (PMCAC) is an extremely rare cystic neoplasm. A case of a 56-year-old male with a cystic lesion of the right lower lobe is described. Preoperative fine needle aspiration cytology and bronchoscopy were inconclusive. The patient underwent a formal right lower lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. Diagnosis was established intraoperatively. The biological behavior of primary PMCAC is unknown. Therefore, careful long-term follow-up is considered necessary because of lack of experience globally.
原发性肺黏液性囊腺癌(PMCAC)是一种极为罕见的囊性肿瘤。本文描述了一例56岁男性右下叶囊性病变的病例。术前细针穿刺细胞学检查和支气管镜检查结果不明确。患者接受了正规的右下叶切除术和纵隔淋巴结清扫术。术中确诊。原发性PMCAC的生物学行为尚不清楚。因此,鉴于全球范围内缺乏经验,谨慎的长期随访被认为是必要的。
