Large pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma in a young female: A rare lung tumor

We report a case of a 28‐year‐old female who presented with a solid mass lesion in the right middle lobe (RML). A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 3.5 cm sized round and solid mass between the medial and lateral segment of the RML. The patient underwent a percutaneous lung biopsy with CT...

description We report a case of a 28‐year‐old female who presented with a solid mass lesion in the right middle lobe (RML). A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 3.5 cm sized round and solid mass between the medial and lateral segment of the RML. The patient underwent a percutaneous lung biopsy with CT scan guidance and pathological examination showed pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma. RML lobectomy was performed for definitive treatment. Here, we describe this rare lung disease which presented as a large homogeneous lesion. Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary lung tumor, even if the patient is young.
