Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare tumour with 23 cases reported to have metastasis to lymph nodes, but to date, only 6 had involved mediastinal nodal stations. Our patient was a 40-year-old Asian female with a 2.5 cm nodule in her right lower lobe. Positron-emission tomography suggested no nodal disease; but after resection, the intra-lobular, hilar and subcarinal nodes were all found to be involved. As prognosis of this rare disease is uncertain, we aim to report our findings against available literature and similar cases.
肺硬化性肺细胞瘤是一种罕见肿瘤，据报道有23例发生淋巴结转移，但迄今为止，仅有6例累及纵隔淋巴结站。我们的患者是一名40岁的亚洲女性，右下叶有一个2.5厘米的结节。正电子发射断层扫描显示无淋巴结病变；但切除术后发现小叶内、肺门和隆突下淋巴结均受累。由于这种罕见疾病的预后尚不确定，我们旨在对照现有文献和类似病例报告我们的发现。
