Only the solitary type of bronchiolo-alveolar cell carcinoma has a chance of being healed if surgery is performed in time. This type of tumor is often found as a cicatricial carcinoma in the periphery of the lung. Small tumors do not exhibit any clinical symptoms, they are either detected by mere chance or during radiological check-up or routine medical check-up of healthy persons. In the present case a small posttuberculous scar in the lung had been known to exist for ten years. Only a repeated routine medical check-up including X-ray examination and subsequent tomographic X-ray gave an indication for the performance of thoracotomy. While surgery was being performed the malignancy and the tumor type where cytologically determined and verified by histological examination of the excised tumor.
只有细支气管肺泡癌的孤立型，如果及时进行手术，才有治愈的机会。这种类型的肿瘤常在外周肺组织中表现为瘢痕癌。小肿瘤通常不表现出任何临床症状，多是偶然发现，或是在健康人的影像学检查或常规体检中被发现。在本病例中，肺部一个结核后小瘢痕已经存在十年了。只有通过包括X线检查及后续断层X线扫描的反复常规体检，才提示需要进行开胸手术。在手术过程中，通过对切除肿瘤的组织学检查，从细胞学上确定并验证了肿瘤的恶性程度及肿瘤类型。
