Atipik yerleşimli pulmoner adenoid kistik karsinom: Olgu sunumu

Pulmoner adenoid kistik karsinom klasik olarak santral ekstrapulmoner hava yollarını tutar ve akciğerlerde görülmesi nadirdir. Çok daha sık görülen primer akciğer adenokanseri ile karşılaştırıldığında daha ılımlı klinik seyir izlemesi nedeniyle ayırıcı tanıda değerlendirilmesi gereken bir tumor grubudur. Bu yazıda; geçmeyen öksürük yakınması nedeniyle araştırılırken sağ akciğer üst lobunda kitle saptanan, bronkoskopik iğne biyopsisi ve pnömonektomi sonucunda pulmoner adenoid kistik karsinom tanısı alan 47 yaşındaki erkek hasta sunulmuş ve klinik, radyolojik ve patolojik özellikleri tartışılmıştır.

Atypically located pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma: Case report

Pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinomas typically arise from central extra-pulmonary airways and lung involvement is rare. On the other hand, this entity should be kept in mind because it has a more favorable clinical course compared to the primary lung adenocarcinoma. In this paper; the clinical, radiological and pathological aspects of a 47 years old man with a complaint of chronic cough, who was found to have a mass lesion at upper lobe of right lung and a final diagnosis of primary pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma according to transbronchial needle biopsy and pneumonectomy, was presented
