Lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces, especially solitary multicystic lesion lung cancer, is a rare disease (a rare imaging performance of non-small cell lung cancer). It is difficult to diagnose owing to the lack of a clear definition; therefore, diagnosis of these neoplastic lesions remains challenging.
We outlined two cases of elderly Chinese men who were admitted to the hospital with a solitary multicystic lesion of the lung and subsequent surgical resection, confirming a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma.
For solitary pulmonary cystic airspaces (especially solitary multicystic lung lesions), it is important to properly recognise their imaging features. Due to the possibility of malignancies, timely surgery is an effective treatment strategy for early diagnosis.
肺癌伴囊腔,尤其是单发多房囊性病变肺癌,是一种罕见疾病(一种非小细胞肺癌的罕见影像表现)。由于缺乏明确的定义,因此难以诊断;因此,这些肿瘤性病变的诊断仍然具有挑战性。
我们描述了两例老年中国男性患者,他们因肺部单发多房囊性病变入院,随后进行了手术切除,确诊为腺癌。
对于孤立性肺囊腔(尤其是单发多房性肺病变),正确认识其影像学特征很重要。由于存在恶性肿瘤的可能,及时手术是早期诊断的有效治疗策略。
