Summary

A rare case of primary lung cancer with central ossification, a papillary adenocarcinoma, was identified in a 70-year-old woman. This finding, containing marrow tissue, is exceptionally uncommon in lung cancer cases.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • A 70-year-old female patient presented with a coin lesion in the left lung, noted on chest roentgenograms since 1994.
  • The lesion exhibited slight growth over three years, prompting further investigation.

Observation:

  • Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a high-density area with irregular borders in the S3a segment of the left lung.
  • Transbronchial biopsy confirmed the presence of adenocarcinoma.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection (left upper lobectomy) was performed.
  • The resected tumor displayed central ossification and pleural indentation.
  • Histological examination identified the tumor as a papillary adenocarcinoma with central ossification containing marrow tissue.

Implications:

  • This case represents a rare instance of primary lung cancer with central ossification.
  • Only six such cases, including this one, have been documented in medical literature.
  • Highlights the importance of thorough histopathological examination for rare tumor variants.
