Papillary adenocarcinoma (PA) of the lung is a specific form of lung cancer characterized by papillary structures in tumor cells. This type of cancer is relatively rare and has distinct pathological and radiological features that differentiate it from other types of lung adenocarcinomas. Determining the specific subtype of adenocarcinoma is a crucial factor in the choice of chemotherapy treatment. Detecting PA is fundamental, as it has both prognostic and therapeutic implications for patients with lung carcinoma. In this paper, we discuss two cases of young patients diagnosed with PA of the lung. The cases we present are particularly intriguing due to the relatively young age of the patients.
肺乳头状腺癌(PA)是肺癌的一种特殊形式,其特征在于肿瘤细胞中存在乳头状结构。这种类型的癌症相对罕见,具有独特的病理和放射学特征,使其与其他类型的肺腺癌有所区别。确定腺癌的具体亚型是化疗治疗选择中的关键因素。检测PA至关重要,因为它对肺癌患者具有预后和治疗意义。在本文中,我们讨论了两例被诊断为肺PA的年轻患者。由于患者年龄相对较小,我们呈现的病例特别引人关注。
