Abstract:
Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare, benign tumor. Given the challenges of a bronchoscopic diagnosis, surgery is performed during the early stages of the disease. Therefore, little is known about the growth pattern of PSP. This case of PSP was not diagnosed despite bronchoscopy, resulting in lung resection eight years after the anomaly was first identified on computed tomography (CT). This report compares the long-term follow-up of CT and pathological findings and discusses the difficulty in making a diagnosis using a bronchoscopic forceps biopsy to aid in future PSP diagnoses and treatment planning.
摘要:
肺硬化性肺细胞瘤(PSP)是一种罕见的,良性肿瘤。鉴于支气管镜诊断的挑战,手术是在疾病的早期阶段进行的。因此,对PSP的生长模式知之甚少。尽管进行了支气管镜检查,但仍未诊断为PSP,在首次在计算机断层扫描(CT)上发现异常8年后,导致肺切除术。本报告比较了CT和病理结果的长期随访,并讨论了使用支气管镜钳活检进行诊断以帮助将来进行PSP诊断和治疗计划的困难。
