Elastofibroma developing at the subscapular port site after thoracoscopic surgery: first case report

In recent years, the number of cancer patients who undergo endoscopic surgery has been increasing, and port-site recurrence is becoming a more common complication. A 66-year-old woman underwent thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy with lymph node dissection for pT1aN0M0 adenocarcinoma of the lung. Six...

description In recent years, the number of cancer patients who undergo endoscopic surgery has been increasing, and port-site recurrence is becoming a more common complication. A 66-year-old woman underwent thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy with lymph node dissection for pT1aN0M0 adenocarcinoma of the lung. Six years after surgery, CT revealed a subscapular tumor measuring 3 cm at the site of the surgical port wound. Although port-site cancer recurrence was suspected, needle biopsy revealed that the tumor was an elastofibroma. During 6 months of follow-up, MRI revealed no further change, and it was concluded that development of the tumor at the subscapular port site had been merely coincidental.
