Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is an uncommon thoracic neoplasm. It is considered a slow-growing tumor with a low-grade malignancy, which can be confusing as to its underlying malignancy, and the main treatment for this tumor is surgery.
Here, we report a case of cystic adenoid carcinoma of the lung in a 50-year-old man presenting with an unusual radiological presentation. The tumor was classified as T4N3M1a according to the TNM classification, eighth edition, and the decision was to treat the patient with palliative chemotherapy. The pathologist and surgeons must fully understand the adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung to prevent misdiagnosis.
Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. The diagnosis can be challenging both clinically and histologically. Here, we present a case with an atypical radiological presentation, making the diagnosis even more difficult.
原发性肺腺样囊性癌是一种罕见的胸部肿瘤。它被认为是一种生长缓慢、低级别恶性的肿瘤，其潜在恶性程度可能令人困惑，而该肿瘤的主要治疗方法是手术。
在此，我们报告一例50岁男性的肺囊性腺样癌，其具有不寻常的影像学表现。根据第八版TNM分类，该肿瘤被分类为T4N3M1a，决定对患者进行姑息化疗。病理学家和外科医生必须充分了解肺腺样囊性癌以防止误诊。
原发性肺腺样囊性癌是一种罕见肿瘤，预后较差。其诊断在临床和组织学上都具有挑战性。在此，我们展示了一例具有非典型影像学表现的病例，使诊断更加困难。
