Among all malignant diseases, lung cancer is the most common on a worldwide basis. It is usually discovered incidentally on lung imaging studies or because of symptoms. The diagnosis is confirmed on biopsy material from the primary malignancy or from metastatic deposits. This is a report of metastatic lung cancer with squamous features discovered in an endoscopically removed colonic polyp. To our knowledge, there are only two prior reports of lung cancer being diagnosed in colonic polyps. We could not find any reports of lung cancer with squamous features metastatic to a colon polyp. In this case, the carcinoma was found in a polyp removed from a patient who presented with severe anemia and melena.
在所有恶性疾病中,肺癌是全球最常见的。它通常在肺部影像学检查中偶然发现,或因症状而被发现。诊断通过原发性恶性肿瘤或转移灶的活检材料得以证实。本文报告一例在内镜切除的结肠息肉中发现具有鳞状特征的转移性肺癌。据我们所知,此前仅有两篇关于在结肠息肉中诊断出肺癌的报告。我们未找到任何关于具有鳞状特征的肺癌转移至结肠息肉的报告。在此病例中,癌肿是在一名因严重贫血和黑便就诊的患者所切除的息肉中发现的。
