Two adults, both non-smokers, with large peripheral lung cysts, which were of long standing (12 and nine years), were found to have well differentiated mucus secreting adenocarcinomas with a bronchioloalveolar growth pattern associated with the cysts. Lobectomy is likely to have been curative in one of the cases and earlier surgery might have been so in the other. The fact that many of the reported carcinomas associated with lung cysts have developed at an early age, as well as some histological features, suggests that the association is not coincidental; and early surgery for lung cysts is therefore recommended.
两名成年非吸烟者，均有长期存在的（分别为12年和9年）周边型肺大囊肿，被发现患有高分化黏液分泌性腺癌，具有与囊肿相关的细支气管肺泡生长模式。在其中一例中，肺叶切除术可能已治愈疾病，而在另一例中，更早进行手术或许也能达到治愈效果。许多报道的与肺囊肿相关的癌症在早年就已发生，以及一些组织学特征，这表明这种关联并非偶然；因此建议对肺囊肿尽早进行手术。
