Pulmonary adenofibroma (PAF) is a rare neoplasm that may be related to solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). A subset of PAFs harbor the NAB2-STAT6 fusion that is typical of SFT, but a significant proportion do not. Their distinction is clinically important as SFTs can potentially have an aggressive clinical course, while there has been no report of a PAF behaving in a malignant fashion. We report a case of a 60-year-old male who developed a SFT and PAF in the same lung. The SFT harbored a NAB2-STAT6 fusion, while the PAF did not have any identifiable fusion. This case represents the first instance of a single patient with both of these tumors occurring simultaneously in the same lung.
肺腺纤维瘤(PAF)是一种罕见的肿瘤,可能与孤立性纤维瘤(SFT)有关。一部分PAF具有SFT典型的NAB2-STAT6融合基因,但相当一部分则没有。它们的鉴别在临床上很重要,因为SFT可能具有侵袭性的临床病程,而尚无PAF表现为恶性的报道。我们报告一例60岁男性,其同一肺内同时发生了SFT和PAF。SFT具有NAB2-STAT6融合基因,而PAF未发现任何可识别的融合基因。该病例是首例同一患者同一肺内同时出现这两种肿瘤的情况。
