A 60-year-old woman underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) left upper lobectomy for multiple ground-glass nodules. Intraoperative frozen section confirmed early adenocarcinoma, enabling prompt treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Early detection of lung cancer is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Ground-glass nodules on chest CT scans can represent early-stage lung malignancies.
  • Surgical resection remains a primary treatment for resectable non-small cell lung cancer.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old female presented with multiple ground-glass nodules in the left upper lobe detected during health screening.
  • Preoperative assessments revealed no distant metastasis and adequate cardiopulmonary function for lobectomy.
  • Chest CT imaging identified multiple ground-glass nodules, suspicious for early malignant lesions, with no enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.

Findings:

  • Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) left upper lobectomy was performed.

  • Intraoperative frozen section biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma.
  • The patient's condition was deemed suitable for surgical intervention.

    • Implications:

    • VATS lobectomy is a viable surgical approach for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma presenting as multiple ground-glass nodules.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical management can lead to favorable outcomes in early lung cancer.
    • Multidisciplinary evaluation is essential for optimizing treatment strategies in patients with complex pulmonary findings.
