Four patients who developed both pulmonary histiocytosis X and carcinoma of the lung are described. Some authors have hypothesized that patients with pulmonary histiocytosis X-associated scarring are also at increased risk of developing lung carcinoma. However, case reports of this phenomenon are rare. The cases presently reported may support this hypothesis, although additional factors, such as cigarette smoking, may better explain the association.
本文描述了4例同时患有肺组织细胞增多症X和肺癌的患者。一些作者推测，患有与肺组织细胞增多症X相关的肺瘢痕形成的患者发生肺癌的风险也会增加。然而，关于这一现象的病例报告很少。尽管吸烟等其他因素可能更好地解释这种关联，但目前报告的病例可能支持这一假说。
